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

[oldrooster]

We live right next to a corn field and the guy that works it is, luckily, very good about not running over chickens with his machinery. When they were getting ready to plant he told me to keep the chickens inside because eating the kernel would kill them. Of course, the chickens went out and tried to eat the kernels (did not kill them) and as I was shooing them away I noticed that the kernels were not yellow like I expected. They were hot pink.

I'm never eating store bought corn again. This isn't the stuff the feed us either, this is the corn that goes to feed lots and in chicken food. Another reason I want to grow my own chicken feed.

I'm 37 and my parents had a garden while I was growing up, and ALL the seed corn I ever saw no matter where they bought it from was pink it was some sort of either pesticide or herbicide they treat it with, so unless you can find a source who does not treat it's seed that way good luck growing non pink seed corn.

I am fairly sure that the pink stuff is a fungicide. The corn plant is round up resistant and you can't see that in the seed. BT production as a Genetic modification is the same way. The poison and Weed killer resistance is produced by the plant and is not a coating on the outside.

So while the seed is bad for the chickens, the coating goes away. The GMO in the corn does not go away and you can't see it. In my opinion it is Evil.

My dad and I were talking about corn one day and all the crap they have done to it. He said he saw/read that the corn in Mexico that has been unchanged for hundreds of years has been contaminated by our GMO junk.

The pink is just a dye to let you know the seed has been treated with some kind of pesticide, it could be any fungicide, insecticide, rodenticide or some combo. The pesticide generally doesn't have any color of it's own, and can often be active in the plant for several weeks after sprouting. They do it to some other crops as well, but it's optional.(might loose half the crop, but you can get untreated seed in most areas.)

Also everything dies, all that changes are quality of life and quality of death. (quick and clean out of the blue or in sleep; vs. slow painful, lion eating you alive.)

My neighbor came over last night and was checking out our setup. My son was excitedly showing him all our animals. He pulled out our silkie and was showing her off. Our neighbor seemed kind of confused by her and was asking me all kinds of questions about her. "Are those feathers, or some kind of fur? Can she fly? Will she lay eggs?" I don't think he's ever seen a silkie in person before...

Heck, I've never seen a Slikie in person before either! You have to admit they are pretty strange looking.

This person must live under a rock. There must be a big lapse in the education of our children that they don't know where their food comes from. How did this happen ????? Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe should become required viewing. Now that's an education in reality.
