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

[Marengoite]

I was just recently asked if my eggs would last as long as the store bought eggs.
Not in my house.

Love it. That's exactly right. Just a couple months ago a dozen supermarket eggs would sit in our refrigerator for a couple weeks or so. Now we're getting an average of 3 a day and the tray in the refrigerator stays nearly empty most of the time. We just find things to do with eggs, since they're good, we don't have to spend (more) money on them, and we know they'll be replenished without going to the store.

My fiance makes a mean quiche when we get a basket full of eggs. We don't refrigerate them. They stay in a basket on the counter and are eaten usually within 2 weeks. I have a hard time filling orders I wanted to bring some for my grandparents this thanksgiving and we didn't have enough for a full dozen!

Still waiting on some of our pullets to start laying. Our mature hens are molting, our March and April chicks are laying, as well as one from May. Waiting on the rest!

My personal dumbest moment;
All I ever saw of chickens was as a child watching old cartoons. They always showed the hens sitting in nest boxes so that's where I thought they laid and slept.
Now, a dumbest chicken moment as told to me by a friend...
We were all getting together to slaughter our roosters, but before my family got there, they went to the store to get some things to prepare. The cashier asks if they are having a cookout and my friend tells her, "Something like that. We have too many roosters."
The cashier is confused a moment and then says, "Ohhhh." After a moments silence the cashier asks, "Do they taste like chicken?"

I've been asked the same question by my mother

Yes. Roosters ARE chickens.

I stopped after work to see some friends, (same friends who took in 6 of my rescue chicks) and they wanted me to see how beautiful the cockerel is now that he is really feathering in... so sure... well... I got my first flogging. "Boss" leapt up, got ahold of my finger and kicked the crap outta me! I'm scratched and have a few bruises forming...

my friend? stood there like

! she couldn't believe that he could be "mean" he's only 6 months old, and very strong... he's gonna be a handful, and forget it when he develops spurs!

I knocked him back... he charged again, knocked him back again, and again he charged... I'm done with Boss.

aoxa, my husband also makes a great quiche! My husband only allows me one pc. because it's for our son, who loves it, but I love it too! It's so unfair! I hope he'll make more of 'em when we get our own eggs ;P LOL

OH man, cheeka, I'm gonna guess that if that should happen to me, I will have no problem putting him in the stew pot!

Pretty funny, hecatesmoon!
