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

Thank you, she was an Isa Brown, and layed HUGE double yolk eggs. Is it possible she became egg bound, and died? She was only about 23 weeks old. No sign of poor health, rest of flock is fine. No sign of attack... Even from the rooster...

The only way to know for sure about the egg bound is to do an autopsy, which admittedly is hard to perform on one's own pet if you're attached to the bird and rather expensive for a simple "What happened here?" question if you send the bird out to have an outside source do it.

Unfortunately, not all birds have the same expiration date (same as people!) Yours passed away young and early, which is a sorry thing. A friend of mine has a 12 y.o. SS who still, on VERY rare occasion, will pop out an egg. However, she is a treasured pet and her owners dote on her. I think the neighbors have started a betting pool on that bird.....

"Oh, this egg is brown, I don't like brown eggs, I only eat white."
I tried to explain that the inside is just the same and that the outside is brown, because my chickens are brown.
Never in a million years I would think that chickens get discriminated too. LOL

People are funny.

who needs television when you have friends and acquaintance. Or just plain run of the mill people who have no idea what "wisdom" ((cough-cough)) they are spouting.

Mine don't lay enough eggs for me to sell...so I just come in here for giggles.

There's a pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins (now retired), Benjamin Carson (.. for President ... yay!!), who said that once he peels back the skin covering the skull, he can't tell one patient from another. Seems we're all the same inside. <a real shocker, huh?>

Ask them if they only eat one color of chicken, too. And, if they do, how do they know?

Do they think eggs are the same as cake?????

LOL that's a good one!

I have one the other day I am talking to a guy who owns chickens he also owns EE's.
Him: oh, I love eggs. My favorite is Easter Eggers eggs. The blue color of my easter eggers eggs are so pretty. My daughter loves them!
Me: my Easter Eggers eggs are green...
Him cutting me off: then those are not Easter Eggers.
Me: How do you figure?
Him: EE's only lay blue eggs.
Me: uhh yeah I will let you run with that!
My 2 EE's lay Green and the other 1 lays Pink!

  Uhmmm....   Do you mean mouth *breathing* knuckle draggers?     Reading this I have a whole 'nother image come to mind.....  

Yinepu got it. A mouth breeder is a type of fish. Look up Geophagus. They collect the eggs in their mouths and let them hatch out from there.
