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

[Gomes Bantams]

Earlier i had my quail d'anver hen on my shoulder while walking through town. I overheard a couple, saying that that owl on my shoulder was weird. Haha. Funny people, my owl is at home in his enclosed yard with hi GF and food. This is a chicken. People amuse me, like watching newborn chicks chase butterflies and grasshopers.

I had a hens lay an eggs, i never had a rooster, Until i got 2 of them..
And 21 of my hens died by diseases and ran away by predetors.
I have Jersey giant rooster and Nankin bantam rooster.
So people say "oh now you have 2 roosters, your hens will lay more eggs."
I told them " No, its will be same no change.."

I don't bother explaining any more b/c most people just argue with me. So, I just respond, "Oh! I'll have to run home and tell my hens to stop. Apparently, they didn't get the memo because my fridge is full of eggs!" 7 Biddies (ever the Smart A)

I'm with you. My fiance's grandfather was very angry when we fought him on this. He grew up on a farm that housed up to 40,000 layers and they had roosters in with them. They honestly thought you needed a rooster for eggs! This was in the 50's though. You'd still think he should know that.

tell them they are hens that live an alternate lifestyle if they where people they would move to new york for a civil union, that'll fix um...

This isn't about chickens but it is REALLY dumb:

I was working at a dude ranch, and when we were riding past the corral, a lady pointed at a young filly standing with its dam and said "Why's there a deer with the horse?!?!?!?!?!?!?". It took A LOT of explaining to get her to realize it was a baby horse.

MsBagawkbagawk, we have a 3 year old doe that took to people when she was a fawn, so to prevent the citiots from shooting her, she has an orange halter.
citiot #1 "what kind of dog is that?"
citiot #2 "that's not a dog, that's a deer!"
citiot #1 "nuh uh, no deer wears a collar thing"
citiot #2 (walking over to my neighbor and me) 'scuse me maam, is that a deer?
neighbor: "no, that's a purebred Appenzeller Spitzhauben"
me:

citiot #2 "who knew...!"
citiot #1 "told you it was a dog!"
me and my neighbor:

(but then I had to ask her what the heck is an Appenzeller Spitzhauben!! and she just said...

c'mon chicken lady...! what do you think it is???
I had to go to breeds here in order to find out how to spell it!)

You have a pet deer?! That's awesome!

There was a pet deer at our Girl Scout Camp when I was young. She wore a collar but roamed the camp and surrounding area freely. She'd come up to get food and for attention regularly. Strange how some will do that.
