OMG, I was telling a lady at work the other day that I'll be getting chickens this summer and plan to have lots and lots of eggs. I told her I'd bring some in for her so that she can taste how much better they are.

Know what she said?

Her: "Oh my GAWD, eeeeeewwwwww, I could never eat those eggs!"

Me: "Ummmm, why not?

Her: "Well, BECAUSE, they came out of a chicken's butt!"

Me: "Ummmmm. Huh? You eat eggs from the store, right?"

Her: "Well, yeah, of COURSE, but that's different!"

Me: "How is that different? Those eggs also came out of a chicken."

Her: "But those are all sanitary and come in a box."

Me: "I'll wash my eggs and box them for you too."

Her: "Blech, no way. I could never eat eggs from your chickens. That's just gross."

I guess she doesn't kiss human beings, either.

My mom said "Your chickens' eggs taste...you know...too much like eggs. And why are the yolks so yellow?"

I think what she meant was...Your eggs taste fresh and I'm used to the pale, old, flavorless ones laid by mistreated chickens that I buy in the grocery store.

Spoken by neighbor about my solar automatic coop door: "Isn't that a little extravagant Linda?"

I thought it was just sane and in the bird's best interest considering the pace of our lives.....Really it's the one thing that made me believe I could actually keep chickens in my suburban neighborhood with my kids, full time job etc.

/ikˈstravəgənt/

Adjective

1. Lacking restraint in spending money or using resources.
2. Costing too much money.

Synonyms
wasteful - lavish - prodigal - excessive - unreasonable

It isn't extravagant if it keeps you from going to the chicken house every sunup and sunset, expecially in the freezing rain or snow. At $25, it's entirely reasonable. Carpeting the hen house is extravagant, or making the chichens' roost out of polished mahogany.

Quote:
My Aunt lived off the farm by the time she was 50 she thought there was something wrong with fresh locally produced eggs we got from a family a few miles away when I was a kid

My mom told me people were going to think I was crazy and not let their kids play with my daughter, then she didn't talk to me for 3 days. All I could think was:

Then she heard I took in Bonnie (an older hen) from my dad, and she keeps asking if I've gotten any eggs yet.

Something tells me she will want some and be miffed if I don't oblige...


And a coworker swears I'm going to bring "avian flu" into the office. I make sure to cough when I walk by her desk.

Avian Flu isn't as bad as bringing stupidity into the office, like she did. You eventually get over Avian Flu. Stupidity lasts forever.
