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

[winteree]

I have no problem with people who are vegan, or vegetarian. I personally cannot be on such a diet, simply because I have battled lifelong anemia. I also can't give blood because of it. I believe that everyone, myself included, should allow others to live their lives. As long as it doesn't infringe upon anyone else's rights or life, what does it matter?

eh no harm no fowl to each is his own

"Your chicken has mange. You need to take it to the vet RIGHT NOW! I can't believe you abuse your animals like that and just leave it sick!"

About my moulting araucana.

Nevermind. I can't delete the entire post I just made so I'm typing this. Basically, just try and remember that some of us come to this thread for shiggles. We come to this site to get away from Facebook cattiness. So can we get back to posting what the thread is supposed to be? Stupid stuff stupid people say about our chickens and/or eggs?

Frankly I think the stupidest thing I've heard today re: My chickens was from the feed store.

Me: I'm here to get some corn for my chooks.
Her: What? Why? Chickens can't even eat corn.
Me: ...what?
Her: Those kernels are WAY too big, your chicken will choke on them.
Me: What do you sell those sacks of corn for?
Her: Those are for hens.

And then I made this face.

well, it is oxidizing that causes the lettuce thing? Lol

Oh, this isn't an egg or chicken one, but as soon as I read your comment about iron I thought of my mom. Ma was fantastic person - lots of fun and so gentle and loving. But Ma wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. I came home from school one day all excited because in Home Ec we'd learned that many vegetables have trace elements in them besides the obvious vitamins we associate with them. "Ma," I told her with my I'm-14-and-I-know-everything attitude, "Even lettuce can have tiny amounts of iron in it."

Ma stopped pressing Dad's shirt and looked thoughtful for a minute. Then she said, "Hmm, no wonder it rusts so easily in the refrigerator."

It's oxidization. Rust only happens with iron.

Why do they work for a feed store?

Rusting of iron IS oxidation. Just sayin'....The nerd in me...

Yes and no.

"rust" is something that only forms on metal. It is the result of oxidation of the metal, resulting in it turning into iron oxide.

Food doesn't "rust", iron inside of them can turn into iron oxides when exposed to air through oxidation.

Both oxidation of iron, but still different.
