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

Now, that was a very entertaining read. Thanks for brightening this gloomy day.

Thanks for the link, your post was fun (well, fun to read...probably not so fun to live through)! Do you still have geese rampaging about your yard or are they in freezer camp now?

I sold my geese.

I raised them for 3 months feeding and housing them, cleaning their poop, bought them a swimming pool and dug it into the ground so they could just slip in and out.
then sold them for the less than I paid for them.

I was like a one man government operation, expense was no problem returns did not matter.

Matter of fact, I saw a goose in the freezer display in the grocery store and became violently ill...

Did it give you 'goose bumps'?

While I was working on my pallet table for my girls to give them something to put their waterer on to keep them from kicking straw into it, I had a couple of guys walk up my driveway. They were engineering students from Michigan and they had released a weather balloon with some equipment to test out how it would work in high altitudes/low orbits they said. Anyways, they had tracked it down and they could see it from the road where it was in our field, but they thought that they should better at least get permission to retrieve it first. Truthfully it was all on the other side of the hill and we would have never known that they had been there short of spotting their footprints later on in the disked up field. So I walked out with them to see what all the fuss was about.

Anyways, we crossed the field to save time, but the both of the two who had walked up the driveway had worn regular tennis shoes for this project of theirs, instead of some decent boots. And the most humorous to me was they were also trying to not step in the manure path from where we've dumped our horse manure out on the field, trying to step right over it. Never mind most of it being over a month old and really not all that bad, mostly sawdust from stalls that are cleaned daily. I heckled them for not wanting to step in money. There was 4 other guys there with them in the other chase vehicles, and some more guys in tennis shoes as well. Clearly these's very smart engineers had forgotten about the practical real world needs for having decent boots on for when you could be hiking out in some pretty rough terrain. Had it been a little warmer and rainy, somebody would have had their Vans all messed up.

Hey!!!

I would have worn "tennis" unless it was wet. I hate boots and only wear them when I must.

BUT a little horse poop does not bother me either....

This is a new one to me:

I gave a guy his eggs today and I opened the cartons as always (first time this guy got eggs from me). They were a nice bunch of eggs, one carton was all blue, green. olive eggs and one white one. The guy looks at me in all seriousness and says " Why do you dye your eggs?"


I wonder if the guy will ever buy another dozen eggs from me.....
