I know! It was the craziest thing I have seen on a chicken yet!

Quote: I will look for that thread!

Not chickens but I thought it was funny: Today my mom was going on and on about how we need to start eating more vegetables and exercising and being healthy and picking up healthy habbits so we can live longer and what not. So a couple hours later me and the hubby go to run some errands for her and she calls my husband and tells him to pick her up a pack of cigarettes...

I don't even undserstand it...

Not my ducks but still ducks.. Years ago Mum can over to Australia (from New Zealand) with a friend to visit and we took them to the local wildlife park. We were in the 'Rare and Endangered Birds' section and we came aross a pen of rare ducks. It was a hot day and the ducks were all resting, standing on one leg. Then Mum's friend said "Oh have they all only got one leg then?" - unbelievable! but true, she must have thought they were rare because they had one leg! I laughed so much I nearly wet myself and went on about for days until Mum told me to stop. I still can't beleive she said that. Deb.

Not chicken related, but definitely in line with the "lack of common sense" posts:

A friend of mine once got some of those plastic bowl covers that look like shower caps. When her husband saw them, she led him to believe they *were* shower caps and the idea was all hers. He thought she was brilliant and should market her "invention".

Months later, he saw them being sold in the grocery store and said, "Look, honey! Someone stole your idea and is now making a fortune off of it!"

This is the same guy who thought you *grew* pickles, instead of pickling cucumbers.

To a gardening friend: "These pickles are good. Did you grow these?"

HER: "Why, yes I did".

HIM: "Hey, honey! Find out what kind of pickles Barbara grew, so we can grow some".

He isn't even blonde.

Gawd, I hope he's not propagating. I don't think our species can take much more of this...

Not chicken related but duck related. My cousin and I go to feed the mallards and geese at a park. It's a nice little spot that is kind of at the back of the park. Until people started going back there. So one day we were feeding the ducks and this mother told her son that "Ducks will eat anything,even garbage." It took all of my strength, but somehow I held back a rant. Another time, this little kid was throwing rocks at the ducks, and the parents did nothing about it. I wish the ducks would have thrown the rocks back. Some people....

That is so funny, yet so true!

I read that it does not really work. I saw where some one made the rooster little knitted caps to fit over their comb...

I saw that on the thread that had people entering inventions that they had made for their chickens, and the people did the comb cover seemed completely down to earth.

Edit: Found the thread that has the comb covers in it.

Quote: Yes, sorry for making fun of it. If they stayed on the combs they might actually work.

Still looks funny though!

I was talking to my friend who grew up on a cattle / grain operation and had geese as a child, we were prevet majors in college together until we changeed course and she also works at a vets office....background info is important haha. SO....she asked if I still had my chickens since we had a predator problem at one time. I said yes, but I am down to 5 hens, 1 rooster, and a lone duck...she looks at me and says oh you have a rooster so you are getting eggs then.....When will people learn hens are just like women only their unused eggs are useful (sorry probably inappropriate)
