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

[7 Biddies]

That is so sweet. Bet she is the best granny ever!

There are 2 different teachers with young sons where I work that I sometimes give eggs. I tell the kids that the bantam eggs are "little boy eggs". They love it! Of course, they are fascinated by the blue and green EE eggs, too. I hope I'm helping these kids develop an open mind about food, even though one family eats nothing but processed/heat up junk.

This kind of junk is why people think the stupid stuff they do. They just believe any old thing they are told then refuse to acknowledge information that refutes their beliefs. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-09/find-blue-chicken-egg-congrats-your-chicken-has-virus Perhaps they only read the head line...

Why did you consider the article junk? Apparently the blue egg is the result of natural genetic modification. It happens.

The article was poorly written and leaves the impression that blue egg layers are infected with a virus.

sometimes simplification leads to misinformation. the article the author of the peice linked is much more detailed but clearer.

It was okay if you read it carefully. I wasn't clear, sorry.
The article was poorly written though. Many of these other comments I agree with. People see virus and blue egg and often don't go past that.

I'm surprised some people don't think blue eggs are from cyanosis, or a lack of oxygen. I've heard weirder stuff.

Does she think that the store makes them there?
