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

[PrairieChickens]

I recently bought hatching eggs that were shipped to me.. upon arrival the post office had the box in a plastic garbage bag because it stunk so badly and was leaking.. several of the eggs had exploded and the rest were bad with large air cells.. when I contacted the seller they assured me that the eggs were good, that their ducks had been laying like crazy... when I asked about the size of the air cells and told him that a few had exploded in the box.. his reply was "those eggs are fresh. they were laid this year, 2014".. so I asked exactly when they had been laid... he said "oh sometime in January I think.. but they are still good for hatching"

keep in mind the box had not been lost in the mail.. and this is April...........

How does someone like that even find their way onto the internet? Would he be willing to EAT the eggs he shipped to you? If you wouldn't eat it, you sure shootin' can't HATCH it.

You should get bonus points for that doozy. My gawd.

fresh, unwashed, fertile eggs stay edible at room temperature for 4-6 months! Of course he'd eat them!
We are just spoiled and see anything older than a week not good enough to eat lol

I wonder how the guy had kept those exploding duck eggs.

he claimed that the fresh ones were for eating.. older eggs "still hatch fine"... no idea where he got that reasoning.......

I came across this comic recently and it reminded me of this thread.

The comic strip is humerous but it's wrong. The egg is not the hen's period. That's another misconception. Ovulation and menstruation are not the same. I have run into this confused thinking too many times. Apparently a lot of people, including the author of that strip, need to enroll in Sex Education 101. That said, it is funny. Wrong, but funny.

Oh disgusting. My pekins eggs are nice for indication. They change color after 1-2 weeks and you can smell the shell and pick up if it is good or not. I have had one started to turn dark after a few days. It's weird. So I always look, smell, then float test. Maybe the guy considers them fine because he likes balut? Which frankly grosses me out.. but some people like it. Then again they are not partailly developed either. So sorry
