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

I've posted here before when someone;s friend or family says meat comes from a machine at the store I agree with them because I have seen the meat come out of a grinder and a wrapper and also seen it come off a conveyor belt that wheighs a package and labels it. it does come from machines.... (but that's after a box, that comes off a truck that comes from a plant where they slaughter the animals and break them down into smaller pieces (sometimes 50-60 pounds rather than a half ton cow) or pre packed chicken.

We were recently discussing what our friends do with the roosters they don't keep for breeding. My five year old informed me that you can't eat real chickens because they are too boney. He told me you have to go to the shop to buy the food that looks like chicken instead. So much for getting chickens to teach the children about food production!

He'll re learn when you helps you pluck them. He'll be so proud that he made a chicken "look like chicken."

I have 4 laying hens and 2 months ago I purchased 6 chicks, A friend ask if I thought one of the hens might brood the chicks. Her brother in law quickly responded " you can't do that your hens are not producing milk. I laugh every time I see him now.

I think we have a winner, folks! This isn't something we can just pass off as someone being unfamiliar with farm life. This guy doesn't even know the difference between birds & mammals! What happened there? Did he sleep through elementary school?

A friend of mine has chickens... she found out that I have parrots, ducks and geese...
her comment: "I don't think I could be in the same room with those things"
me: "who.. the parrots?"
her: "yes.. them and the ducks and geese... I'm terrified of birds.. they are just so evil"
me: "but you have chickens.. they're birds...."
her: "no they aren't! Chickens are NOT birds!"
me:.. "they're avian.. you know..birds.. they have feathers .. lay eggs... so yeah.. they're birds.. just like ducks and geese"..
her: "no they aren't! You don't know what you're talking about.. ducks and geese are birds... chickens are chickens NOT BIRDS!"

I gave up after that... I thought at first she just meant small flighted birds were her what she feared.. but she's afraid of ducks and geese too.. so.... yeah...

Lol-ing about the broody not having milk post just above. While my post is the total opposite.....I take care of a 15 month old little girl. She is totally enamored with our hens and now our 1 week old chicks. She toddles around calling "here bock bock" and points to the laundry room door and says "see bock bocks". Yesterday while she was eating her lunch (which included chicken) she picked up a piece of the chicken and said "yum bock bock". This baby knows where her food comes from! .

Now that's raising a baby right! I have skinned a deer, catfish, chickens, and squirrels. My kids have all seen it and I tell them where their food comes from. Our neighbor has cows across the road and they know that's where their hamburgers come from. Every time my son sees me cooking any kind of meat, he asks if daddy shot it and did I skin it. lol We also garden and my little one was helping me water it last week. He would water a plant and say, "Help it grow." He then looked at me and said, "Help you grow, momma?" lol I'm only 5' tall. It's sad I've got a 2 year old making short jokes at me.

I am 5 ft too and my Minions all use me as their measuring stick. They all come up and see where the top of their heads are on me....... I bet he is just too sweet and most likely will be protective of his Momma as he grows
