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

[Ilovemyduckies]

Well I've heard that too but it's referring to the yolk so maybe she misunderstood when someone was talking about that. Store bought eggs having pale yolks rather than the rich yellow of a free range. (Makes me wonder how much free ranging these so called store free range eggs chickens do)
Have to admit I'm one that also says cant eat my own chooks. As I always say, can't eat anyone I've met personally lol. Know it's dumb and all the rest but still can't make myself do it .

Your not the only one.

Oh darn....I wasn't aware of that.....will have to rethink then.  I just need another standard size rooster, and would love a really pretty one....if possible.  I have a silkie rooster and a bantam brahma rooster.  They just aren't  big enough to handle the larger hens.  My silkie will mount the leghorns, but they are a little closer to his size. 

My silkies mount my standard cochins

I am the same, each time I tell myself I will do it, but when it comes time, I know I can't. So I give the boys to someone who can. I am hoping by next year I will get over it. I was thinking about just getting some meat birds, so I know that is their only purpose, maybe next year.

mine mounted all of my large foul- and breed successfully. (60-80% fertility before I tried to hatch any, 72% hatched)

I was really hoping to get some out of this, but the standard roosters bred them more frequently, so all of the chicks happened to be fathered by my standard Barred Rock.

Yes the price is $5.59

lol I had HEARD that good eggs go for over $5 a dozen in some places, but I had yet to see it for myself. XD

Dumb, not about chickens though, My mom is an Identical twin, meaning her sister looks like a carbon copy, close family can tell easily but friends and distant family esp. if they haven't seen them for a few years have a hard time trying to figure out whom is whom. My mom and I attended the church she grew up in for their 110 year anniversary (she moved out of town when she married my dad when they married) and we where at a lunch after the morning service, a gentleman came up to us my mom was speaking to a person at the table behind her each of them where talking over their shoulder (they where just having a quick conversation and neither needed to turn around) and a gentleman walked up and asked if we where still living in the city my aunt lives in, I told him no we where 2 hours away from where we were and he was thinking of my aunt, her twin, he said so how long have you been living there and not in the other city, I told him 40 years, because your thinking of my mom's twin not her, So you've been there that long? I thought you where in this other city? No that is MY AUNT MY MOM"S TWIN! WE NEVER HAVE LIVED THERE!!!!!!! Are you sure? I thought you lived there... and he walks off.... my aunt walks up before he got very far away I pointed him out and told her he apparently never knew you two where twins he thought my mom was you and couldn't understand why we lived where you did.....

What scares me most about these posts is these dummies vote, reproduce, drive vehicles and can legally buy and use firearms.......

As a youngster I used to marvel at the wonders from the garden: how this carrot was shaped like a hand, how that potato was a snowman, and other such things.
When I was out on my own doing grocery shopping I was amazed at all those perfect vegetables and wondered how it was possible. I can't believe how "dumb" I was to not realize that they only sent the "pick of the crop" to the stores for sale.

Now I know that the "pick of the crop" the stores sell are not the best for us to eat. Just like our "mutant orange" yolks are so much healthier for us, the home grown mutant vegies are healthier too.

I'll eat them, just as long as nobody tells me who I'm eating. I'll eat evil Julius, but no one can say "You're eating Julius!!!!!"

I'm trying to talk my dad into building a new coop so we can do Cornish X next year. I really hate eating store chicken, even though we buy "The good kind" that is humanely killed, I'd still rather do it myself.
