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

[sunflour]

EVEN DUMBER!

A man who told me he has raised chickens for 20 + years, was at my house before my 6 pullets were old enough to lay. He told me I WOULD NEVER GET ANY EGGS FROM MY CHICKENS WITHOUT A ROOSTER. He insisted that without the rooster no hen would have eggs!

Really, he was quite serious, and told me I did not know what I was talking about when I told him they would lay unfertilized eggs. He really made me mad with his arrogance.

It's scary the number of people that don't understand female plumbing.

I hear lines like that all the time. Sometimes it seems like every other person claims he/she "grew up on a farm". It's mostly people mythologizing their past. I have a relative that claims to have been a farmer because he helped my grandfather pick pole beans a few times.

Getting back to the topic, the stupidest thing i've heard recently came from a younger cousin. When he saw my easter eggers he started asking questions about the "face chickens". He asked if the E.E. breed had any males in it or if the entire breed was all females. He apparently thought breeds where entirely dedicated to one gender or the other. I briefly considered telling him they were all clones.

I gave a dozen eggs to a man helping me build onto my chicken coop.  The next day, he told me his wife wanted to know it the eggs would hatch in their refrigerator???   HE KNOWS WE ONLY HAVE HENS, NO ROOSTER!

And not to mention the they are in the refridgerator.
