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

[cheeka]

I am new to having chickens. Right after I got a 4 month old rooster and hen, I told one of my co-workers that the rooster finally got what he wanted without falling off the hen. She said "OH...she's going to lay baby chickens!!! Or does she lay an egg first.....oh yeah, she lays an egg and it hatches into a baby chicken."

like 7 Biddies said... slow processor... lol, some people are more like Pooh... and need to "think think think" before they speak... thankfully we get some really good fodder for this thread bc most people just blurt first, and think later

for those of you who have nearby neighbors whose kids are really wanting chickens... why not invite them over for egg collecting and cleaning chores. for some, the novelty might wear off and they will see that there is some work involved, for others... it will prove to their parents that they really can take the initiative and raise chickens...! Lots of folks know that their kids "want" all kinds of things, but know that once the novelty wears off, the kids tend to lose interest, then it's the parents who have to do all the work, and sometimes that just doesn't fit into the family plan...

besides, having help with your chickens will make chore time much more speedy and it's fun to teach kids about stuff that interests them.

Excellent idea! It has the added advantage of letting the kids enjoy the experience even though they don't have their own chickens.

I've always heard the best way to enjoy Wild Turkey was in a glass of ice and a shot of seltzer.

Loved the idea. Shame that my coworker don't live near. The boy could satisfy his need of pets with mine.
The kid had proved to the mom he is responsably. Last year he had a bunny and because he knew mommy dont like the smell of animals we woke up earlier to clean the cage, and when he got from school and around the time he went to bed everyday for the 6 months the bunny lived. . Her mother was amazed how that small kid (5 years at the time) was so responsably. She never had to tell him to take care of the bunny. He even improved at school.
The bunny died and the mom thinks was her fault because died in cleaning day and she was mixing detergents and was preatty smelly.

I will have to work with his father, I think it annoyed him that we got them. Every time I wave at him he acts like he does not see it or a glower. He acts like I got chickens just to annoy him.

My ex wifes boss said he only buys cold eggs from the store.


Ooooookay. They must come from refridgerated chickens?

One of my co-workers buys eggs from me and leaves them on a filing cabinet. She scrambles them in the microwave, but they sit there a week sometimes before she eats them all. By they way, it is fine to not refrigerate back yard chicken eggs because they have not been bleached and had the bloom scrubbed off like the eggs in the store.

So one day she missed work because she had a stomach bug and everyone in my office thought she was made sick by the un refrigerated eggs. Of course everyone in her family caught a virus and it was not from the eggs...

Ha ha yes. I just found it funny that the guy assumed that store eggs weren't warm when the chicken layed them. To each their own!
