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

[NoZolbitty]

Ok, the people who think the eggs from the store are "clean" should see pictures of the dirty, crowded, disgusting conditions where those poor factory farm hens live.

So true, there are some videos on You Tube concernpng Where store eggs come from

I seem to recal; there is a product that is made for cleaning fresh eggs. I saw it pn one of the hatcher catalogs

Some people sometimes are a little lets say off from the rest of us. lol.

Ive had numerous people ask me "How are you going to have eggs you dont have any roosters?

In reference to my very first egg I recieved 2 days ago(oh I was so proud, hubby and I text a pic to everyone) One of his friends say"oh is that safe to eat what are those brown spots dont you think you might get sick?"

And in reference to first eggs in general by my brother in law yesterday. "Dont eat any of the first eggs they cant be good for you Id through them away till the chickens get better at it" WHAT!?

Hahahahahahaha ignorance is a real problem, It took me an hour to explain to my uncle how a chicken actually comes to lay an egg and he was raised with chickens! he plans to get a couple of bantams in the next few weeks and sat here yesterday telling me that bantam cockrels dont crow

sometimes i despair!

I made the mistake of telling my boss that we were going to be getting chickens, and that we started incubating eggs a few weeks ago (hatch date is today, fingers crossed!).
He lives about 1/2 a block away from us, and likes to walk. Yesterday he says to me "I walked by your house this morning, and I didn't hear your rooster crowing, have your eggs hatched yet?".

It was really hard not to laugh... l did delicately explain that they had not hatched yet, and even if we do get a rooster it will be a while before he crows. LMAO

 

[chicknlove]

Ohhhhh. So, chicken is supposed to be cooked while still in the cellophane?? And, to think I've been doing it wrong all these years.




Listening to some of these people is like being at the Mad Hatter's tea party. <sigh>

Your telling me!

One of the ladies I work with thinks it is cruel to hatch eggs in an incubator because they don't have their mother. I asked her if she thought it was less cruel to have the hatched at a hatchery and shipped in a little box across the country?

People get weird ideas.

People make the mistake of projecting their feelings on to animals ... and on to everyone else, as well. "If I feel this way, the rest of the world must, too!" It's called Egocentrism, or "I Am The Norm". They also don't bother to think things through. E.g. While riding through the mountians, I told my city friend from So. FL. that there are no natural lakes in the Blue Ridge Mountains; they're all dammed up rivers and streams. She responded, "Oh. So, they're all fresh water lakes?"

I just said, "Why yes, I guess they are".

I've gotten so I don't try to set them straight anymore as it just confuses them and can prolong the insanity. Instead, I just respond, "Ahhhh. I didn't know that", and move on. Ignorance can be bliss, I suppose.

Quote:t Exactly!

"Anthropomorphism or personification is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to other animals...."

"The spider is out to get me!" Really?

People even do this with things like rocks

How many people had pet rocks in the 1970's?

So you perpetuate ignorance?

-I- didn't know there are no natural lakes in the Blue Ridge chain, Lakes are everywhere in my mind- it wouldn't have occurred to me, it's not something I would have looked up... and seeing lakes in the Blue Ridge tourist areas, it would not have automatically meant they were man made to me. (reservoir, or run off, or barrow pits)

Just like according to 'everyone' that I talked to 'hens lay eggs in the morning just like the cartoons shows'- not whenever the egg is ready even right before roosting.

Egocentrism is the natural condition of man, as we are not empathic in such a way we can experience another set of ideas just as they are thought, feelings as they are felt, colors or pain- everything is through each of our own lenses.
