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

[Crickett]

I believe they have some control. Why else would they withhold eggs until they get treats?

The lady I sold some mixed bantams to last week messaged me to tell me just how amazing one of the pullets is. According to the lady, this particular pullet lays FOUR eggs at a time.

I told her that it was most likely that she just happened to be the fourth one to lay in that nest. She was adamant that this girl lays four every day because she saw four eggs underneath her

You can't argue with stupid people. They just drag you to their level and beat you with experience!

It's a shame I can't figure out how to breed four-a-day layers! I'd be stinking rich.

"maybe you can raise one of the eggs?"

i have all hens and this is a very stupid comment.

I am intrigued by this revelation.  I thought it seemed like our OEGB tried to not poop on us when we were holding her,  but everything I'd read said they had no control over their poo. 

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/125001/potty-training-chickens-how-to is an article here on byc about it, although I disagree about the praising bit. It's not so much the words as the tone of voice that is the reward. Note: I haven't tried potty training my girls, but they do come running when I whistle. (as long as they feel like it or are hungry!)

That is too funny for words.

Since I got my incubator, I've been asked several times if I could hatch the eggs you buy in the store. lol On it's own, it's not an especially ridiculous question, but it amuses me to see the look on their faces when I explain most store-bought eggs come from hens who have never met a rooster. I don't know what perplexes them more, the fact that the hens aren't around roosters, or the fact that there needs to be a rooster for the eggs to be fertile.
