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

[CyndiChick]

My friend informed me that I have 8 cochin roos and one cochin hen... I told her she had itbackwards. "Nu-uh. The 8 roos are bigger than that one so it has to be a hen. " I had to tell her about bantan size vs. lf and even after hearing Capone crow she wasn't convinced. I even asked if the fact that my DH is shorter than me means he's actually the female and I am male. Her response was "Chickens are different. The males get bigger so you can tell who is what gende . Shouldn't you know that if you are raising chickens? Hey! That explains why they aren't laying yet! " *facepalm *

Pretty funny! So is your roo named Capone or is he a Capone? You should look up Capone chicken if you didn't do it as a play on words.

Only when using vast quantities.

Whenever people "tell" me about needing a rooster, I just whisper, "Shhhhh. I know, but don't tell my girls or they may go on strike. It'll be our little secret, ok?"

I live by the motto: "Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."

Also, "Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference."; "Only a fool would argue with an idiot." and, don't forget ""Never argue with a pig; it just frustrates you and annoys the pig."

So, I don't argue. I agree with them, then add something to confuse them further.

After telling someone I did not have a rooster, they replied, "oh, you have chickens instead?" Roosters are chickens, too!

Tell them that while all dollars are money, not all money is dollars. And no fair throwing a monkey wrench into the analogy by mentioning sand dollars, etc.

My best friend has her grandson, his wife and their little girl living with them right now. The great granddaughter, Natalie, is about 4. My friend purchases ALL of my bantam eggs for Natalie. We call them Natalie eggs and according to my friend, nobody and I mean nobody, is allowed to even touch those eggs but little Miss Natalie. They are apparently the perfect size for a little princess to eat for her breakfast. It's a niche market for sure and she pays me the full price that I charge for a regular dozen.

some i have got recently quite often actually since i got them is when someone comes over and sees my pigeons out they freak out and tell me they got out and want to help catch them and are surprised to hear that they go back up and when they see my roller flip they ask me if she got hit in the head or if she is just retarded

someone else said the only difference he knew between pigeons was a dead one and an annoying one that wants to be fed all the time i then showed him all the different breeds and he was amazed
