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

[7 Biddies]

That has become the new American standard hasn't it?

Yup. The land of the free and the home of the professional victim.

This is exactly what drove me to spend a small fortune on my chicken habit; I couldn't buy the quality, organic, truly free-ranged eggs I wanted all the time because sometimes there were only enough for the chicken keeper. It became almost impossible to buy them in the winter, so i got my own. Now, my neighbors are getting their eggs for free (I won't charge them) even now that the days are short and cold. My current flock is new and the girls are laying machines!!!

I bragged about last year how my pullets produced all thru the winter…really didn't understand how significant the first molt would effect them this year. But still getting enough for me and DH.

@sunflour you hit on it.
People with first year chickens get spoiled by pullets laying right through winter. They begin to assume they're egg laying machines but fail to notice that they're animals just like us with stress and other issues that just happen to give us breakfast when we're lucky if we are good animal husbanders.

Thanks.

And they are our stress relievers!

I worked with a woman who liked to whine and cry like that too about her abusive husband, (when HE divorced HER she got a boyfriend of the same variety) and other stuff and how life was cheating her. like she was on birth control and ended up pregnant because she wasn't bright enough to tell the staff at the ER that she was on birth control and they gave her an anti-biotic (they can neutralize birth control) and she ended up pregnant. And she claimed it was all the hospital's fault. I told her I went thru the same sex ed that she did provided by the local school system and I knew that an anti-biotic among other things can keep birth control from working right and as a boy if I remember ed that (since to my knowledge there is no pill or shot to keep me from getting a girl pregnant) she should have known that too, if not more due to being the gender that can use it. She said that I was mean for pointing out her stupidity.
Why was it your fault that she was stupid?? Did you whack her upside her head with a 2x4 ya big meanie??

No but after a couple of years of working with her I thought a whack with a 2x4 would relieve some of the stress of hearing her stupidity being strewn everywhere, but alas I refrained due to fear of making her even more stupid if that was even possible.

What does this have to do with chickens again?

Just the usual talk about chicken-headed-ninny-muggins'. LOL

(Sorry, couldn't help it.)

It just goes to show that not everybody can be as smart and as good looking as us chicken keepers can be.

I had a friend who wanted to try some eggs that were not from the store. She had heard about how much better non-commercial eggs were. I gave her a half dozen eggs to give them a try. I Asked her a week later how they were. She said that she ended up throwing them out becuase they were bad. Upon further discussion it came out she was under the impression that an egg with really yellow yoke was bad. and these eggs I gave her must have been really old becuase the yoke was orange.

I never gave her another egg.

And there's your proof that there's a bell curve for egg snobbery, too!
