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

I hadn't thought of that-

My other neighbor discovered my chickens a few days ago.

We have a lot of coyotes in the area, and it's because I'm providing an easy lunch.

Which ya know, they coyotes knew 2 years ago when we moved in that we'd eventually get chickens for them to eat.

Probably has nothing to do with the 20 pounds worth of dogs ( 3 of them total 20, if that) you have...or that we are on the edge of town, with all sorts of woods and natural habitat for them...

Wait till summer oh neighbor of mine. Wait till summer. Only city rule we have is they have to be housed 200' from the people houses. Wait till the roosters start calling the coyotes in for breakfast...

Be careful! Revenge on nasty neighbors can turn real ugly real quick! Have fun though

oh it's not for revenge, it's cause they're tasty, and I don't wanna pay for birds every year. They already have a disdain cause I hunt, on MY property. All in all they aren't bad, and I like them as neighbors, but they do have a sense of we don't like it so you can't do it attitude.

It just killed me as I have pics from my game camera of a coyote watching us hangin out in the yard, and this was a year before I even had a chicken! Their dog was chased just before winter by one, before I had a chicken! But now they're only hanging out by us cause...I have chickens!

I don't like people with that attitude...

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.

Ask her how she knows this.

Ask her how she knows this.

Send her pictures of where her eggs come from. I won't eat a store bought egg anymore not after seeing how they are abused and I believe with all my heart that most people would stop buying them if they really knew.

^ I convinced a buddy of mine to convert. We were talkin meat chickens, and how "Perdue" is all natural, vegetarian diet, and pastured.

Well chickens aren't vegetarians, and showed him the legal definition of what it takes to call them "pastured". His response was "son of a *****". Now he wants to go havsies on my order...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

Probably one of the main reasons there is an ex in front of SIL.....

You know there are some things really don't need clarifying. Its much more fun to go along blissfully ignorant or even plain old not thinking about it. LOL
