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

No. They are little caterpillar things at the silk tip on the outside of the cob under the husk. If I remember right, the bug lays eggs on the silk and the larva works it's way in

Sorry, that reply was to @KDOGG331

Regardless of storage method, I don't expect I'll need my eggs to stay good for months any time soon. They go to friends, neighbors, the dogs or the chickens if I have more than two cartons on the counter.

I live 5 hours from my parents. So I save eggs for a couple weeks and take a lot down to them. We don't get down that often.

We eat eggs within a couple days between us and the dogs

My zoology prof. always referred to all birds as reptiles with feathers. Perhaps someone took it literally lol

Was he referring to the theory that chickens are decedents of velociraptors?

The lady behind the counter at the post office just asked me today if any of the eggs being shipped to me have ever hatched inside the box during shipping...

Our very first chickens were hatched from eggs we ordered. When the post guy brought them, he beeped at the gate for me because there was a sticker on the box that said something like, 'Fragile. Live animals' on it. He was so excited like a little kid & asked what was inside the box. I said they were chicken eggs. His eyes bulged out & he goes, "Really? Can I see them?" Funny thing is that this guy probably looks at chicken eggs everyday in his fridge... I'm not really sure why he thought mine would look different, but it caught me off guard, so I carefully opened the box while he stood there chomping at the bit to see inside. I pulled out one bubble wrapped egg & showed him the others in the box. He looked amazed, got a big smile on his face & said, "WOW! That's so cool!!!" I admit, I personally was pretty excited to get them, but I've never understood why he was.

Gross! Lol

It was weird for me at first too. I was raised only eating food out of a can. Any vegis, fruit & even the meat we got all came in a can when I was little.

Sorry everybody that my brain is not on 'multiquote' mode yet today.

I'm sure it's already been said on this thread, but let's revive some oldies but goodies:
1. "You really should bleach your eggs so they will look white like grocery store eggs. I think more people would buy them then."
2. "The reason your eggs are brown and green is because they're organic, right?"
3. "What color eggs does that rooster lay?"
4. "If I buy that rooster from you (blue green egg genetic), then my hens will start laying blue eggs, right?"

I think, more than anything, when I get comments like these, it reminds me that folks are too many steps removed from the source of their food - and so we explain... and explain again... (and giggle a little bit in the process!)

One that actually got me speechless: "I don't want to buy fertilized eggs because I don't want to find anything weird inside..." I wanted to ask, "like what, a jelly bean? Raisin? Toy? What do they think they'll find??

Was he referring to the theory that chickens are decedents of velociraptors?

I'm guessing he was referring to the fact that chickens and all birds are actually a branch of the dinosaur, and therefore reptile family tree.

That's hysterical, but would also be awesome! Imagine getting Cracker Jack chicken eggs.
