I knew a girl that was more of a country girl than I was, thought you needed a rooster to get a hen to lay an egg.

Mommy are those birds?- NO, THEY ARE CHICKENS.

LOVE it....So not all creatures with feathers are birds, some are chickens I get such an education here.

About five DIFFERENT people today: " chicken can fly?!"
Me: " -_- it's a bird ain't it...."

I don't know, think they are a bit like buzz light year personally. It's not flying, it's falling with style

To me, if they flap there wings an get 3 feet off the ground it's flying but I like your toystory reference

Chickens are raised by poor people! My grandmother said this same thing about breastfeeding

Sounds like my mother; she was a big snob.

My parents originally commented that "chickens are messy and smelly and will poop all over your deck....blah blah blah...you should just buy fresh eggs from the store or from the farmer up the hill"... (Who lets them live cage free but not on pasture, and charges $3.50 a dozen!)
Of course I didn't listen, and after getting my hens and giving away freebies to the 'rents, they now get it why home eggs are soooo much better....albeit not without the occasional A Fish Called Wanda reference (don't eat the green ones, they're not ripe yet!)

From a recent pro-vegan letter to the editor:
"Taking their eggs throughout their lives is no different from slavery...Chickens, like all sentient, intelligent beings, have a natural order and way of life that we can’t fully understand. When in the wild, they follow complex social behaviors, establish sentries to watch over the flock, and they usually peck and eat their unfertilized eggs to absorb the calcium and other nutrients lost during egg-laying."http://www.coloradoan.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013301260040

I can envision it now. The girls in their complex social huddle in the morning: Splash says "Henrietta, you take first watch, Eva takes second and I'll take third, but leave me one of my unfertilized eggs to snack upon please. I get really hungry standing third watch..."

You may be on to something, lol....every morning, while waiting for their cheese, my girls walk up the back stairs (and yes it's hilarious to watch a chicken walk up a set of stairs like a human) and then get into a group and cluck away to each other for about 15 minutes. Then they break up after cheese time....it's like the morning shop meeting at a union.
I can see Sheila standing there with her lil clipboard under her wing, "ooookaaaayyy....now lets see, Caspar, you and Speckles and Ania are on laying duty today, Little, you find us a new grub patch, the old one is getting fished out. Tard, you search through the compost pile, and Cholula, as usual, you're on dog guarding duty again. Alright, everybody got their assignments for today, lets get our cheese and then we're off!"
