Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[btguy]

One of my fellow classmates said and I quote "Rosters can lay eggs!". I said
"***"

My Marans hens could pass for roosters and they lay eggs...does that count? Roflmao

Ok, if someone does start up a thread of "The Dumbest Things Tourists...." count me in. I used to live in Key West and have a cruise ship full of tourist stories!

I did a summer up on Mackinac Island, cleaning up after the fudgies for one of the ferry boat companies. I used to laugh at them all freaking out whenever one of the horses needed to answer nature's call right where his cart was parked at. I will admit that a hard working horse on a summer's day is a bit pungent. A few of them even insisted that we should clean it right up, or that they should wear a diaper. yeah, ok lady. First off, the street front is not my department, and secondly, it's part of the Island's many charms. Third, who would really want to change a horses diaper when it has several pounds of road apples and horse pee in it. no thanks, and it would probably chaff the horse as well.

Oh and yeah, my main duty there was to clean up the bathrooms there. Its a little known fact that most of the stores there do have some underwear that you can buy. You do not want to know what a quarter pound of fudge can do the average human bowel when you eat it all at once and then go on a 8 mile bike ride around the Island. Tis not pretty.

In Key West it was a common occurrence for visitors to think they were in a foreign country. Almost any day I'd be asked if US stamps would work for their post cards, did they have to exchange their American money for ours, would their cell phones work since they were out of the country, etc.

Two H.S. grads away from home for the 1st time stick out in my mind...they asked me if the chicken was our state bird (chickens roam freely in KW). They asked me that after already telling me they were from central Florida and they were amazed when I told them their state bird was the same as ours in KW.

Lots of stories from those days. Some days it was funny and sometimes just plain aggravating. Too many people seem to pack their suitcases with everything but their brains.

Next time you see them, agree and give them a chocolate = poo egg.

Hi!

I have not read through all of the posts, so I apologize for jumping in here and posting if this has been posted already. We have a bunch of chickens and I sell or donate excess eggs. Well a few weeks ago one of my olive eggers started laying & I had (excitedly) told most of my customers about the new green eggs. Must have neglected to tell one customer though. I gave him his eggs, he paid me & went home. Next day, I get a call that he has a rotten egg! Then he said it's an odd color (green!). When I explained, he is still scared to eat it. Said it just doesn't look right. LOL!! The eggs to me are (of course) beautiful

.



I also have another story. I was bringing eggs to work and a couple of young girls were sitting in the breakroom. I showed them the eggs (because I love them) and
one girl said "They're BROWN!"
I said "Yes, My hens lay brown eggs."
The other girl piped up and said "They all do! The grocery store eggs are bleached!"

Remind me not to make you angry

Funny, you're about the 10th person to say that.
