Went toa birthday party, and was asked by. Lady about my chicks, I told her that one turned out to be a rooster. She said oh no, you need to get rid of him, or you can't eat the eggs. I was like .. Why... Her response well then there are baby chicks inside ... I was like yeah if I hatch them. Then she asked me how a rooster fertilizes the egg and was shocked they actually do it and it doesn't happen after the egg has been laid......
I thought this was all already crazy dumb, she then though said. Five hens you will have a ton of eggs. I responded that I expect about 25 ish a week and we eat/bake a lot .... She then said, ahh really that's it? I was like yeah I expect for each to lay about 5 a week, +/- she then told me she thought chickens just keep on laying eggs like 10-12 a day, one every couple hours or so
And I told her that as long as you don't wash them you don't have to refrigerate them ... She said cool, that will save space in our fridge not not put eggs I told her that store bought eggs have to bc they were washed in bleach water, she didn't believe me that they would do that, bc it sounds harmful
Seriously??? Do people not know where their stuff comes from ... Wow
