It took me several days to read this thread, here's my top two:

Like so many of us, I've had my share of "do hens lay eggs without a rooster around" questions.  I thought I had come up with the perfect explanation:  comparing a hen's egg production to a human female's monthly ovulation "even without a man around."  First time I used this explanation and it will be the last...the man I was talking to got this horrified expression on his face and said "are you trying to say that women make eggs?  What do you do with them??"  You don't know how badly I wanted to say that we cook them for breakfast.  This guy was in his late 20s, early 30s.  Dear lord, I hope he doesn't reproduce...

I recently sold a young breeding pair of Japanese Bantams to a couple with children in town, I got a call within 10 minutes of departing from delivering the pair. The mother was frantic and asked

"Why are they pooping on the carpet and not in the litter box?!?"

I need say no more

The ignorance *and* stupidity I read and hear sometimes makes me wish that something would come along and wipe out the human race so we can start over and maybe do better the second time around.



ummm...if the human race was wiped out....how exactly would we start over?

Well, today i was with my Barnevelder cockeral and my little sister (7) came up to me and said:

Her: "So hes a boy?"

Me: "Yes He is!!"

Her: "Does that mean he was born by a rooster?"

Me: **FACEPALM**

My sister is so weird..

That's HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, with all of todays preservatives and chemicals, i think we would just have spontanous generation. *looks at rock* POOF! Instant human.

So I've read along on this post for a while now, LOLing at those funny remarks everyone here has had a friend or aquaintance make to them about their chickens, or the eggs. I've thought all the while to myself, "wow, I must have friends with good common sense, nice to know" Yesterday the tides turned. My two best friends, we'll call them Shirley and Bessie, and I went to breakfast yesterday, of course eggs were on the table and here we go. I have always been allergic to eggs, I get headaches, sinus problems, and itchy, watery eyes. I only have those problems with store bought eggs, the eggs from my hens give me absolutely no allergic reactions. Both Shirley and Bessie know I have this allergy and we were discussing the possible reasons for the difference in my allergic reaction and lack thereof between store eggs and home raised eggs. Then we were discussing my newfound information of how well my roosters fertilize my hens eggs, (which btw, is awesome), it was at this point that Bessie says "So how do the roosters fertilize the eggs?" My jaw dropped, I just know it did, Shirley and I looked at each other and then looked back at Bessie and asked "Really?" Shirley started laughing while I explained. Wow, Bessie is over 50 yrs and we live in a mostly rural area. There ya go folks, I guess they're everywhere.

The one that drives me the most crazy is people thinking "chicken" means "hen." So I get asked, "Is that a chicken or a rooster?"
