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

[7 Biddies]

I think it's just the light, but I wouldn't really be surprised if they were really pink.

Maybe if it were crossed with a flamingo.

That is so mean! The worst I've got is when my sister's friend came over and I was crying over a dead duck. She just didn't know what to think. My sister is kin of that way too. Although, she doesn't say anything until quite a while after it happens (several weeks at least). At least it's better than saying it while I'm still upset though.

I think an appropriate response to people like this is, "Look, whether you agree with it or not, I'm upset about losing a pet. So, if you can't be supportive, just don't say anything, OK?" Some people are as sensitive as a Sherman Tank.

OMG, I was telling a lady at work the other day that I'll be getting chickens this summer and plan to have lots and lots of eggs. I told her I'd bring some in for her so that she can taste how much better they are.

Know what she said?

Her: "Oh my GAWD, eeeeeewwwwww, I could never eat those eggs!"

Me: "Ummmm, why not?

Her: "Well, BECAUSE, they came out of a chicken's butt!"

Me: "Ummmmm. Huh? You eat eggs from the store, right?"

Her: "Well, yeah, of COURSE, but that's different!"

Me: "How is that different? Those eggs also came out of a chicken."

Her: "But those are all sanitary and come in a box."

Me: "I'll wash my eggs and box them for you too."

Her: "Blech, no way. I could never eat eggs from your chickens. That's just gross."

Me: "***?"

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!

LOL, this is just too much. No wonder I want to quit my job and become a pioneer woman and never have to leave the house...

This is funny. My husband's friend's wife acts the same way. She acts like some kind of environmentalist, but is one of the worst hypocritical consumerists EVER.

"You can't eat the first eggs a chicken lays."
"Why not?"
"They are full of yucky stuff."
"What yucky stuff?"
"You know like when a house is new and you have to run the water to wash out the pipes. Until they lay for a while the eggs are full of yucky stuff from the plumbing."
"I think you are wrong and we are eating them anyway."
"Ok well I will wait for you to start acting funny and will call an ambulance for you."

We have been all eating the pullet eggs and frankly I think they taste better. All that work to get them to laying I sure am not going to toss em out.

I agree, I got the weirdest shaped pullet egg the other day, but it tasted great, except for maybe weird shapes there would be no reason for them to be funky. oh, well, tell them you can call the ambulance when they get salmonella from the store bought eggs (jk, it's probably better just to ignore them).

Oh I think it is funny since the same person asked me what a float test was and how to do it. I asked why and found out he got sick from bad eggs he bought and now he wants on the waiting list for my eggs. LOL I only have 21 hens and 30+ on the list already.

I only have 3 and I have at least 5 people who want them.... one who offered to pay.

I have a waiting list too and I only have 4.......my solution....I cut the egg cartons in half and they only get 6 eggs at a time......

 

[Gomes Bantams]

Good idea, i should do that some time...
