Hi, we are just starting with 3 barred plymouth rocks and when I told my mother in law I was excited about the eggs she was grossed out. I asked her why, They are fresher then store bought. She said she would be afraid of one having a partially developed baby in it. I told her, I will only have hens so that will not happen. After a long discussion about birds and bees she still thinks that if an egg is in the heat of the sun for more then a day it will start to turn in to a chick. Her old roommate used to have chickens and now I know why she never ate the eggs. When he kept the eggs warm they were fertilized but she didn't know that. A 68 yr old women who raised 3 kids. Amazing! Can't wait to get her to eat one from our new babies.

He didn't get partially developed chicks from leaving them in the sun....if it were that easy to get chicks, we wouldn't need incubators.

It's more likely he left eggs in the nest and they were sat upon by hens gone broody for a tad too long before he collected them.

I've got a humdinger. Just happened a little while ago, too.


I was playing cards with my neighbors today, Jan and Loretta. Jan was telling me about her daughter in Missouri who is raising bees and chickens. Surprised this was the first I was hearing this, I asked if her eggs were organic.

JAN: Well, I don't know, I'll have to ask her.
LORETTA: (who fed my chickens the entire time I was down with a broken ankle) Does she have a rooster?
JAN: Well, I don't know that either, I'll ask.
ME: (Not intending to cause trouble, I swear) Why do you want to know about a rooster?
LORETTA: Well, if she has a rooster, they're not organic. Right?

It went downhill from there when she asked why her tablet doesn't work, and demonstrated what she was doing.

Oh, you're welcome. I couldn't get home to post it fast enough. I even told them about putting it on the board. I was careful not to mention the name of the thread

A week or so ago, I was chatting with a coworker about chickens.
Her: What do chicken eggs taste like? Do they taste like eggs in the grocery store?
Me: More or less.
Her: What kind of eggs are in the grocery store anyway?
Me: ....

50 years ago a vet told me to use motor oil on ringworm on calves and that worked. The hotspot cure theory could have come from something like that.

When I was a kid I was told to dip scaly leg mite legs in motor oil too. It supposedly smothered the mites. It seemed to work, but, it was motor oil, so yeah.

Same theory behind the Vaseline treatment. And it works.
