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

[settingdusk]

"Peep peep" Look! The chick is happy sitting on me! "(shrill) Bbbbaaaa reeeee" (Turd slides out onto arm)

I have a vegan coworker who is not the aways the most critical thinker. Apparently she lived with some people who kept chickens in their laundry room. She insists that all chickens reek, and that the reason they are called "fowl" is because of their "foul" smell.

I've pointed out that cats and dogs have smelly feces and it is the job of responsible pet owner to maintain decent living conditions for their animals.

Every single time chickens come up in conversation, she mentions the vile stench. I swear she's driving me insane, and I'm going to tell her how I still hang out with humans even though their waste products stink.

Funny thing... I've lived with a vegan and he smelled worse than any chicken I've ever encountered. So there!

The In-Laws lived with us for about a year and REFUSED to eat our eggs. They said that they didn't like the taste of the rooster's sperm as he must have sprayed too much over the top of them.

We said, "WHAT?!" (They actually thought roosters fertilized eggs like fish).

They continued filling our refrigerator with store bought white eggs.

I also feed our chickens leftovers (including chicken) and they freaked out stating, "You can't feed them chicken...they'll get mad cow disease!!"

Shouldn't they know better... they are 75 years old?!!!

Here are our disgusting eggs and by the way, I enjoyed showing them my blue ribbons I've won for Best of Show & Peoples Choice Awards...though I doubt they care.

I would not want to anger you around halloween.... just sayin'

I get that response, every time I handle my ducklings! Don't you dare poop on me, Gracie! Squirt and plop! Expression of disbelief on my face streaks across my face, because I knew better!

Folks need to take personal debate to private messaging. Tit for Tat debating and responding solves nothing. We have a rule on BYC. Excessive arguing.

No Fighting or excessive arguing. Taking a personal conflict to the forum is unacceptable. "I'm right, you're wrong" threads and posts will be edited or deleted.

Might want to take this time to review.

Alright. Let's see if we can re-open this thread and keep the conversation on target.

i want to give an apology to all who's fun i ruined. im truly sorry folks, sometimes i just get a little to passionate on a cause.

i thought i would do something to try and get you all talking again, and to be honest - i am afraid of offending someone again. so instead of talking about someone's lack of knowledge, im just going to tell a story that i laugh about every time i hear it.

i was at another chicken farm buying some new breeds and replacement breeders. the guy who runs this farm is highly respected in the chicken business, i knew he had pigs also; but on this particular visit i noticed he had 2 cows. out of curiosity i asked him about them, what breed they were and such. i cant remember what breed they were, but their names were "dumb" and "dumber". i asked him how he got those names, here is the story:

one day he walked out and one of them had their head stuck in a 55 gallon feed barrel. after about 15 minutes he got the cow free, and took the barrel back to the barn. the cow was in pretty bad shape from being stuck in the barrel. foaming at the mouth and severely overheated. before he left the barn, the other cow stuck his head in the same barrel. the farmer's response was "how dumb can you be, you just seen that he head his head stuck in there, and now you've done the same thing - im going to name you "dumb"". the very next morning the first calf had his head stuck in the barrel again. the farmer's response was (in so many words) "you're even dumber than he is, at least he only done it once, your new name is "dumber"". the last time i was at his farm both dumb and dumber were still there. thankfully their horns have gotten long enough they cant get them stuck in the barrel anymore.

lol I have always considered cattle to be the dumbest of all farm animals. This does nothing to disabuse me of that idea!

Lol Sounds like something my hubby would name them. Speaking of hubby he gave me a scare. Came in the house saying he thought Hellion broke his wing. I run out scared to death wondering how he could have done it. I made sure there were no catches on the coop before we'd put them in! I get outside and start laughing. There was nothing wrong with his wing. He was dancing for the ladies! Told hubs what it was and he kinda looked at them for a sec and said " No wonder they don't want anything to do with him. His dance moves suck." Poor Hellion

Kinda off topic but still funny.
