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

[DaphneNL]

I knew a woman who put ducks in the run with the chickens. She hoped for some "nice duckens".

"That's not a chicken!"
"Yes it is, that's a silkie."
"That's not a chicken, it's obviously some sort of dog, or sheep!"

What???? Haha...

Someone asked "If you don't eat them, will chicks hatch out of them? I answered "no because:
a. We don't have a rooster, so the eggs are not fertile
b. The eggs have to be incubated for long periods of time for chicks to develop
c. Our hens stubbornley won't go broody, and we don't have an incubator.

My sister asked me if I was one of those weird people that feed their chickens weird stuff. I told her I feed them the usual stuff: corn, layers feed, some oats, yogurt, sometimes fruit, and organic vinager in the water from time to time. She looked me in the eye and told me....yup....you are one of the weird ones.

We have this fellow who joined our company last year who came down to NC from Buffalo, NY. He started buying eggs from me and when I brought him in a carton of my finest big brown eggs he stopped me and asked me 'Are these eggs the natural color for chicken eggs? Do they bleach them white to sell them in the stores?' Without missing a beat I responded 'Yes, and that's why the store bought eggs aren't good for you and they don't taste as good. It's all the chemicals they soak them in to bleach them out.' Well, I wasn't going to miss a chance to sell my product over WalMart's.

Then recently when we were waiting for our new flock of BSL's to start laying I was cracking open hard boiled eggs one morning in my office and I heard people outside my office asking what that smell was. Then someone said it was Jim eating eggs. You know how boiled eggs smell when you crack them open. Well, again without missing a beat I said 'Yeah, it's me. These %$#^&! old store bought eggs have been sitting in the warehouse for six weeks and are nearly rotten and that's why they stink. I can't wait until I start getting fresh eggs from my hens again!'

I got a million of 'em...

Wonder if that's how a lot of these dumb ideas get started originally.

The little old lady across the street has been lovely. She knows what she's talking about but all the cussing while she looks like she's ready for church every day cracks me up...

"You gone have roos? Mean @$$ &@$+@^%!. Git u a stick n a shawl. A big stick, mind ya! Gotta show em who the boss is. Don't be afraid to hit the %%&*(*&%%$."

Bwahahahaha!!!!

That's the most awesome thing I've heard in a long time. I wish that little old lady lived across the street from me!
