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

You can stack records....that's why they're made thicker in the middle (record label) and the edges so the grooves don't touch. --BB

Okay so I will "tell" on myself. I started with chickens last year. When my first girl laid her first egg, I could NOT eat it, I could NOT eat the second, third, fourth...for two weeks all eggs went to the dogs. I had a HARD time getting over the fact they were WARM!!!!! I know, I know

, I just really was not expecting them to be so warm, now this comes from someone who had no problem with blood spots, but warm, nope not gonna do it. I have since, of course, gotten over it

!

PS Edited to say, I love this thread, I am guilty of a lot of things on this list, but I have no problem laughing at myself, it keeps life fun!

lol I couldn't eat our first eggs because I was just so gosh darn PROUD of them. XD

I was talking to another "Chicken Friend" at our local coffee shop about ways of keeping our chickens warm durring the winter when someone at another table misheard us and offered a microwave oven reciept/

Once my friend asked me if the rooster waited for the hen to lay it's egg so it could fertilize it. I said what? Turns out she thought they fertilized eggs like fish do, seriously, I can't believe she actually thought that.

#1 is warm #2 is warm if you have a "hug the thrown" moment (sorry trying to keep it pg folks) it's warm (usually) plus as a kid I watched my uncle milk a cow and drank a glass of warm fresh milk so knowing all of the above warm eggs never surprised me....

i love finding warm eggs. especially now that it is getting cold. keep one in each pocket and my hands stay nice and toasty! never gave it a second thought to crack open and cook up a nice warm egg... except for hard boiling, they don't peel well...

not dumb, just really cute ~ I gave an 18 pack of eggs to my mechanic bc he stayed late one night last week to put my studded snow tires on my car. the pack had 6 brown, 6 cream and 6 blue. it was quite pretty if I do say so myself... today, I stopped by to have something checked and his daughter came out with about a dozen egg cartons for me and asked me if she could have all blue eggs in the next dozen.

The schools really don't teach this unless you study poultry in an ag class. There's a lot you have to get outside the classroom to learn.

I grew up eating eggs that we'd just gathered when visiting our grandparents, so I never thought anything of it. My wife is from Korea and she was so excited having warm eggs. (Spoiler alert. This next part may gross out some folks who believe eggs have to be cooked over hard to be healthy.) She likes to use a chopstick to poke a hole in one end and drink the egg while it's warm, then lick some salt from her hand. I can't bring myself to do it, but I don't mind my wife eating it like that.

I've done that, but I've licked brown sugar from my hand after... it's good... I'm not a fan of salt, I can taste ONE grain really strongly, same with pepper... my OH likes to tell people that I will find the one grain of white pepper hidden in mashed white potatoes... but, I think I will try her method with 3 grains of salt...
