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

[hennotrooster]

It's people chasing the dollar at the expense of a life. If more people were to watch this video the sale of eggs would drop I know that I will never eat another egg from the store so I guess when I eat breakfast out eggs will no longer be on my plate. I love and thank my girls for the eggs they give us and if they need to sit a bit longer I let them. I have one that only sits on everyone elses eggs, she does not lay often but loves to sit and fights for her right to do so.

My sister told me another silly one. Apparently, her nutrition teacher believes that there's a breed of chicken that only lays eggs without yolks for people that are on low-cholesterol diets.

The woman in my chemistry class was asking about Frou-Frou again today. She asked how Frou'f was coping with not incubating her egg. I had to explain that Frou-Frou really didn't know any different because she's not brooding. Then, she said to me, "You should bring Frou-Frou in!" Yeah, a chicken in a chemistry lab... I don't see that working so well.

My chicken mentor, and DH's fishin' buddy is an older guy (somewhere around 90). He raised his family on fresh caught seafood, home raised meats and chickens, fresh milk,etc.
Funny thing is that his own daughter (who he now lives with) will not allow him to cook any type of seafood in her house, and when it comes to his chickens, she is totally grossed out by the thought of eating their eggs.
All his chickens are brown egg layers, so when we were laughing about it one day, I suggested that I could give him a dozen of my white eggs and he could put them in a Wal Mart egg carton, just for fun, to see if she would notice anything different. He said, "no, I need a place to live"
Then he told me that she will not even allow his fresh brown eggs in her fridge, nor will she allow any of his fresh caught fish or shrimp in it either.
Poor guy has to have a separate fridge in his shed, where he also keeps a fryer and a hot plate so he can cook his fresh foods.
W W WHAT?!?
Can't believe this girl made it to adulthood seeing as how she was raised on all this stuff. Makes me wish I could sneak the 'whites' into her fridge myself.

No wait, the best is yet to come:

Because this guy is older, most of the time he cannot get out here to the country by us where his chickens are, so we spend our time taking care of them, gave him a well pump for their water, provide the gas for his generator to pull water from the well, as well as our gas to run back and forth, not to mention store his boat at our house so that it is safe.......
She is convinced that we are just out to take from him anything we can get......

Go figure, people are crazy

If you really want to freak someone out, tell them what's under the feathers of a Silkie chicken, I made that mistake once

, and the girl gave the most horrified look i have ever seen

brown eggs do not automatically make them organic, but if buy organic in the store in my area (unless eggland's best is considered organic, not sure on them) all I have ever seen are brown eggs..... However all the non-organic eggs I have ever seen are white in the stores (again I am not sure how eggland's best advertises themselves never looked at their package)

Egglands Best does have organic, and they are brown. So are their "free range", which only means that the cage doors have to be opened for an unspecified period of time so the chickens may go outside for an unspecified period of time. They're also one of the worst offenders at saying their chickens are fed a "natural vegetarian" diet.

Our chickens have the run of the back yard, and we only close the chicken coop at night to keep predators out. We got some warm weather last weekend so I was pulling the fence stakes out from around out garden so we can expand it this year and found an earthworm. One of our hens had it gone quick as a flash. Vegetarian my eye.

I'd eat it, but I'd probably want a couple beers with it just to get me in the right frame of mind.

Neighbor was over after I tilled a couple of rows cor corn. The hens were all over the fresh earth pickin out worms. We just stopped and watched the birds eating them up like they had discovered the best treat on the planet. After that they get excited to see me preping to till.
