Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

[ChickenGoesRuff]

Yesterday, one of my neighbors called saying that one of my hens was near the property line. With all the firecrackers, she got a little disoriented and was over 30 yards from the line, on my side. Being a good neighbor and all, I walked over to humor her and get Buffy. My neighbor was on her deck (very far from the chicken) clutching her cockapoo dog to her chest as if my sweet little hen was a vicious attack animal. I called Buffy's name and she ran right over. I picked her up and heard the neighbor say "It's not vicious?!". I contained my laughter until I got back to the coop. Some people...

True! I wonder what would have happened If my sister's Black Australop roo (He's molting and learning to crow- sounds like a dying bird and looks like a vulture) went over!

Most people are absolutely amazed that my flock comes when called. They are completely shocked that farm animals can be trained.

I love it. Buffy the vicious velociraptor.

I hear you junebuggena, I was asked yesterday how I get mine to go back in their run. After all, isn't catching them hard? I answered "Nope, mealworms. "

My mother in law is still dumbfounded that we have chickens that aren't white. She literally thought chickens only came in one color/breed/type/whatever.

Oh my! How boring our world would be.

Your poor babies don't know what they are missing! lol I kinda hypothesize that the flock leader tends to influence the tastes/interests of the rest. Perhaps your head honcho decided that they were a no-go and everyone else just followed suit?

You are so true! I think the same, because she alwats tastes first, and evreryone watches her like she is some up scale restaurant blogger! I also wonder if naybe I trued mealworms too young on them.

A city friend (citiot) came to visit me in the mountains and was relaxing on my screened porch. I received a package delivery, came out to the porch where I opened it, and said "Oh, goody. They're here!" My friend asked what it was and I replied, "Earthworm casings". She literally screamed, and ran from the porch into the house where she slammed the door. Dumbfounded, I said, "But Nancy. It's only worms for the garden to improve the soil for the veggies." She refused to come out of the guest room until I swore I put the container out in the garage. Oy. You should've heard her on the phone after her departure when I told her I found a baby snake in her bedding, meaning she'd slept with it the night before. Apparently, my cat. Milo, had brought her a gift. He really likes Nancy.

She's also afraid of the chickens, all birds really, b/c they flap their wings. And people wonder why I have a sign in my garden that says "psycho path". Because people are NUTS!
