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

[7 Biddies]

We'll be having a very enjoyable BBQ with the rest of our neighbors, no worries...

Not pretty, but it does the job, lol...

And no, we haven't weed whacked that side in a while... irritates the chit outta her, lol...


Update- they were served with their letter... all has been very, very quiet on that side ever since... just found out when she realized it was her cousin evicting her that she called his MOM to b!*$# and complain...

That's quite a crew you've got there. Loud, huh? Good for them. But, I've gotta admit I'm still partial to the Guineas and peacocks. They'd bust anyone's nerves.

Thanks, that's just a few, lol... would love to have a bunch of peas all along there, but we don't have the housing for them... yet...

Yes, very loud... this is them when I put them up at night... about 75 of them at this point...

He just got wi-Fi put in, but his cell phone doesn't work out there. He uses a 4-wheel drive vehicle for mail. I'm thinking of suggesting a small plane or helicopter. Maybe a human sized drone. His 4 wheel drive truck is yeller, though, so it should werk jes' fahn.

Bring him house gift of yeller chick named "Ol Yeller."

I was talking to my neighbor over the fence a couple weeks ago about the chickens and telling her about how i had to get rid of the roosters because they're noisy and a waste of time and feed because they won't lay eggs anyhow. She looks at me puzzled look on her face and says "really?"

 

[Bawk2theFuture]

Did you tell him that they were a month fresher than his eggs at home?  

People are so far removed from reality. 

Yeah, i think everyone should learn about how to read the Julian dates on their cartons...they'd be mortified

"Really?" As in you'd really kill them? Or, "Really, " as in roosters don't produce eggs?

Either way, she's none too tuned in to nature. Surely, they taught this in science in the early grades. I was a military brat, but still knew a lot of this stuff - picked up the rest along the way. But, so many people aren't tuned in these days. Like the city kid whose folks moved up here to the mountains, and was overheard complaining to his classmates that he was bored to death b/c there wasn't anything to do here. The local boys looked at him totally perplexed, saying, "You're kidding! There's tons to do! Hunting, fishing, canoeing on the lake, swimming, 4 wheeling, hiking, camping, exploring the woods, building forts" ..... and, so on. It's the fault of their parents and it's so sad that it's downright pathetic.

When my kids were young, we spent the summers not far from where I am now. They couldn't wait to get here from the suburbs b/c they never ran out of things to do ... unless it rained. Then I'd get out board games, cards, or a jigsaw puzzle that I kept on hand for such occasions. I also took them to the little one room library. No Lego Land, no iPhones, no Pokeymon. Yup. Pathetic.

The expiration dates don't look so bad, but imagine what people would think if they put the "date laid" on them.

As in "really?" Roosters don't lay eggs. Funny, she's in her 60's and she certainly doesn't look mentally handicapped.

Now don't be too hard on the neighbor. Maybe she is like me and loves roosters and cannot imagine a flock without them.

My husband and I enjoy flying RC planes and helicopters. In every movie that I make of him flying you can hear our roosters mouthing off. I can still watch one of DH's flights that I've filmed for him and hear my Red crowing. He's gone now but his crow lives on.

Don't get me wrong. I've sold extra roosters that are aggressive and the buyer has asked me if it would bother me if they butchered one of them. Nope, I reply. I'm just not going to do it. It's a matter of perspective.

Someone that age should surely know something. If nothing else her parents, at the very least, or grandparents should have related some of their own experiences. Even city people had chickens 100 years ago when her grandparents were young. She must've been like my mother and couldn't be bothered. But, then, my mother wouldn't have been caught dead living next door to someone with chickens. Needless to say, she was worse than your neighbor when it came to such things, so I should just shut my mouth.

Sheesh.
