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

[theuglyduckling]

My weird talk:
Friend: eww chickens are gross!
Me: why?
Friend: umm
Me: give me one good reason.
Friend: uh, they poop weird.
Me: ( look at her weird )
Other friend: Yeah their super weird!
Me: whats your reason then?
Other friend: umm...
Friends walk away

PEOPLE ARE SO CLUELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was mad that day, but I think I won that battle.

I should be calling them "friends". I'm glad I have some real friends, too.

im sorry call me weird, but i think when a baby chick poops its too cute

I do have to say that they do find ways to poop in the strangest places.  I have yet to figure out who is pooping in their hanging waterer.  Not just who, but how.  It's too high for it to be an accidental backed up on the waterer.  The would have to stand on it but it has a rounded top.  I would imagine it would take some balance and practice to be able to poop while standing on a slippery surface that moves in the wind (and I live on top of a hill, it's always windy).

LOL. Can just picture them all huddled round "okay, who has it? pass it up. We are so messing with her head -evil chuckle "

I grew up on a farm (and ate everything we grew/raised/etc as long as it didn't bite me first!) so you'd think my family wouldn't pull this stunt but here ya go...

Me: Guess what Dad? I'm building a chicken coop and going to get some chickens!

Dad: Live ones?

Me: Well yeah live ones... why would I want dead ones?

And, just what do they think their C-Rap looks like ... especially to a chicken? Beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder.

I completely agree. My Dad is the same way, if it came straight from the source, he isn't having it. I mean it's like we're dealing with a 2 year old!

I was talking to my friends mom about how I'm going to get chickens and eat their eggs, and when I asked her if she would want some, she said:
"Eww, aren't their eggs dirty and covered in blood spots? I heard that farm raised chickens have blood spots on their eggs. I don't care if they are healthier, I'll buy the clean ones from the store."
Unbelievable. People would take a hormone enhanced, chemical filled, 5 month old store egg, over a healthy, natural, egg, just because of a little bit of poop and the occasional blood spot. I don't understand people these days.:/

I had my first experience selling at a farmer's market a few weeks ago. I brought some heritage roos and some cornish cross. Everyone kept asking me what was wrong with the cornish cross. "Why don't they have any feathers?" I kept telling them that they were meat birds and are bred to be easy to pluck. That really grossed them out cause they would all give me a grossed out look and just walk away. I kept thinking, "Are you serious!!? How disconnected from your food are you? Don't you realize that your food was at one point ALIVE!!?"

I even had one person ask me what color eggs they lay so I told them "brown" and they told me that they don't eat brown eggs and walked away. I mean seriously, this is a FARMER'S MARKET. I would expect these comments if I was trying to sell at a city park or something but not at a farmer's market in a small country town. Next time I am not going with live birds. I will bring cooked chicken as free samples and take orders for meat birds. I don't think people can eat anything that has a face anymore.

I never get over how disconnected people are. I offered some friends a few meat birds if they would come help process them. One friend was excited and said she thought it would be an important learning experience. The other gave me a nasty look and said" Any chicken I eat comes in clean styrofoam and plastic. I don't eat things that had a face." They have both heard my rants about the importance of being connected to your food and the ethics of large production farms. The one refusing the food is very politically Liberal. Even intelligent educated individuals are wilfully ignorant these days.
