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

[lazy gardener]

My boss was horrified when he learned that we butchered. "You eat your own animals?"
"Yes." I replied. "Who's do you eat?"

I was eating a hard boiled egg at work yesterday. Since I often call the fur babies in the house my "kids", my coworker goes "is that like eating one of your grandchildren?"

I told her nope, for one thing it's not a chick and for the other the chickens are more like employees. I then had to explain the birds and the bees of chicken reproduction to her and how now every egg will become a chick. The whole not a fertile egg unless the rooster has gotten busy part.

I had an old friend ask me if giving roosters red contacts keeps them from being mean.

My SIL won't take eggs from me because she 'would just die if I opened on and there was a baby chick inside". I explained to her that I don't have any roosters and she wanted to know what that had to do with it. Love her but geez.....

"I didn't know ducks laid eggs. Are you sure they're DUCK eggs? That doesn't sound right."
-a woman at work, over 60

I felt really bad for her, I was so shocked...

I'm lost you mean that ducks laid eggs and all this time I thought they were like the stork and brought each other babies in a diaper? I'm so confused

Once you explained it did she change her mind? Lol

Yep the old 'rose colored glasses' myth from way back in the day. (We need an emoji that rolls its eyes.)

I thought the idea behind the rose colored glasses was to prevent them from pecking at other chickens (you can't see blood very well if everything is red), not prevent aggression towards humans??
