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

[animallover505]

LOL, Hen, I know you weren't being testy. And no hard feelings from the "vivisection" thread I hope, as no insult personally was intended toward you on my part, I spoke out of personal professional annoyance. Nothing to do with you. And I know my spanish ain't perfect. No soy latina, pero apredio 8 anos (please insert tilde) cuando era en escuela, pues, espero que hecho un funny.

uh... vivisection thread??

My grandmother won't eat my chicken's eggs. She said she would rather have grocery store eggs. She said she feels like the grocery store eggs are 'cleaner'. I guess it's like some people don't want to eat eggs or meat if they know where it comes from. Lol, there is no changing her mind.

Ask your grandmother why grocery store eggs are cleaner. Ask her how she thinks commercial eggs are produced and handled. Not to change her mind. Just to find out what she thinks happens to the eggs once they are laid and until they get to the market. It might be interesting.

I just read something on yahoo answers. Someone asked if ducks lay year round (I'm sure they were thinking like chickens) One persons response was "of course not then we'd have an overpopulation of ducks!" *facepalm*

I would guess unless bred otherwise they only have a short laying cycle, but I know little about ducks, but the overpopulation comment was stupid.... I guess the world is over populated by rabbits, they can have several litters a year, without human intervention of breeding....

Love all the comments on this thread. My neighbour has stopped her husband buying eggs from us. Why? She says that eggs that are bought outside of the supermarket are riddled with salmanella. Wonder what she would say if she realised that all thw eggs she has eaten for the past year were from my birds lol.

LOL people are so funny!
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I think some of these weirdo comments come from ideas that have been passed down through generations and maybe somehow have been twisted.....
I have a little lady that I do odd jobs for, she is from South America. I took her some eggs once.
Her daughter thought they were gorgeous (blue, green, olive, brown, pinkish, and white), but when I asked the mom if she had tried the eggs, she said in her cute latin accent ,"No, No, there is something wrong with them, they are all different colors, something wrong with them"
I proceeded to try to explain that different breeds of chickens lay different colored eggs, to which she replied, "No, No, my grandfather had chickens when I was a girl, and they should only lay brown or white eggs. I asked her how many different breeds he had back then, and she said, "two kinds only, and he told me if I find other color, they are bad, the chicken is sick, throw them out".

I emailed her that day when I got home and sent her pics of each hen, and a pic of each egg for that particular hen, and when I went back the next time and asked her if she read that email-
"Yes Honey, I read it, and those chickens that lay the funny colors, they are sick, kill them before the rest get sick." There is just no changing her mind, because that is what Grandfather told her. Not to mention that she also thinks that the egg colors are determined by the skin color of their legs.....I asked her about chickens that have yellow legs (i've never seen a yellow egg from my white leghorn girls)

Needless to say, I didn't take her anymore eggs

. The funny thing about this is that my DH works for her ex-SIL, and he grew up on a farm. He prefers the pretty colored eggs because as a kid they only had white and brown!
The mother and the ex-SIL do not get along very well.....Imagine.....LOL

"Yes Honey, I read it, and those chickens that lay the funny colors, they are sick, kill them before the rest get sick."

We'd better go tell all those people that are buying and breeding birds for these egg colors.

Oh, but wait! Does that mean that if my Easter-eggers stay in my mixed flock, eventually all my eggs will be blue and green? Sounds awesome!
