I told them, that whether they liked it or not, they were going to eat my cock-erel.

I find that totally reasonable, and proof you have a backbone! OMG! Thats almost as rare as common sense! But really, the message is "You gonna eat at my table you gonna eat whats on the table." Same thing some parents teach kids. I had to say same thing about left overs to my late husband.
Course if they give you anymore grief, I would not be too polite to serve him up and SAY it came from some organic grocers, and tell her how much more money he was with no hormones added, free ranged. I cant afford organic!

Sent an email earlier to some city friends, showing a funny pic of a chicken in a diaper:

Got this response back from my BIL, who's a fairly intelligent guy:

" Also rooster prophylactics...I swear, Corporate America does this to induce 'egg shortages', hence raising the price of eggs, chicken products, etc."



It's an EGGspiracy!

Oh too funny! This guy should have chickens! Instead of prophylactics, there could be a reverse model of China, who now has no women for the men to marry cause they kept no girls!? Oops!? Seems like someone would have seen THAT coming! So if we eat all the males, we will accomplish the same!
OR go the other way. Make all hens wear diapers as house chickens. But of course they still lay.......I guess in the diaper?;

Seriously, I feel sorry for that hen. Shes not Paris Hiltons dog.

My in-laws are coming for a visit on Friday. They don't want me to cook one of my cockerels for dinner. They are fine with us processing them, they just don't want to EAT one.
I guess the thought of eating something that lived a healthy life, free ranging and all, is disgusting to them...

My Dad is like this with my hens eggs!!!!! He would rather buy 2 month old eggs from the store........makes me crazy!

We have the opposite problem. Lots of relatives want free eggs (once ours start laying) and when I explain to them "once we sell enough to recoup the costs of everything" they look at me like I'm crazy.

I've got 2 healthy boys that are starting to turn into real jerks. I've already invested 15 weeks worth of brooding and feed in them. I am not about to go spend more money on grocery store birds, when I have two perfectly good meals out in the coop.

Home grown chicken is better tasting anyway

I have also had people try to argue with me that dairy cows are called dairy cows because they produce milk indefinitely. This was a couple of years ago and it was with two other people at my school. When I told them that cows produce milk for their young just like other mammals do - humans included -they looked at me like I was stupid. I get so frustrated sometimes, why do people choose to stay ignorant? When people try to argue with you about something they know absolutely nothing about it has got to be one of the most annoying things ever.

But, my favorite part is, when you don't agree with them, *you're* a know-it-all. it's tough being intelligent in a world where average intelligence means room temperature. A word of caution, though; don't put toooo much faith in everything you read on the web. Just remember that it relies on humans for its information.
