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

Apparently not credible enough. Which demonstrates why they should never *assume* the source, although credible, is accurate. Always check your sources.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, you have to do the best you can with the information you have available at the time. Studies are made all the time that seem to show thus and so. Some of those studies may later be shown to not be true. You can't fault someone for quoting the first study if the second one hasn't been made yet. Or if you have not been made privy to the fact that it has. As for me, I personally think all eggs are the same. I may be wrong, but if I am I don't really care. I have hens because I like having hens not because I think their eggs are better for me than what I can buy at the store. But that's me.

I wanted to be sure you were familiar with Roundup Ready crops and how they work? That concept is being used over and over in our food system with more on the horizon. Studies are showing the presence of glyphosate in women's breast milk and higher concentrations of it in many with certain disease processes. It's like anything else. The damage will occur but it takes years before the research confirms it.

That's because of the roundup the people are eating, not the GMO. It probably doesn't help with the fact a lot of people are eating fruits and vegetables without washing them at all.

The fact checkers would not have flagged it. The source was credible.

That is why when passing on such information, it should ALWAYS be backed up with no less than two, preferably three sources. If you can't find multiple sources, it is not verifiable. That is research 101.

I had a pullet fly up to my shoulder and peck at my tooth one day. She kept looking at my face and I would smile at her, thinking she was just wanting to be sociable. Then she pecked at my tooth. My husband told me later that I had a piece of spinach from our lunch salad in my teeth, but he didn't want to say anything. Thanks a lot, the chicken had to help me out! Lol!

That's hilarious. And thanks hubby! Lol

Yes, people are eating more than they used to because the plants actually produce it as well as it still being sprayed on fields. I'm not going to say anything else about it on this thread

We had some new friends over to play, and they were really enchanted by our chickens. They got to feed them, collect the eggs, one of my hens perched on their shoulders. At dinner time, I fixed omelettes. One of the boys asked: where did you get such yummy eggs

This past week must have been the week of stupid... Two remarks in one week! The first I've already posted. The second one was made last Saturday. I had to do an assisted hatch and was in the middle of the process (help, wait, help, wait some more, etc.) when a friend came over. I told him about the hatch and he said: "Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a scrambled egg, ha ha!"

I couldn't believe I heard that remark. There I was trying to save the chick and that's what I hear? Unbelievable!

I got a new one the other day. An old lady was arguing with me over the semantics of Easter Egger vs other names. So that isn't unusual. Then she told me that the egg color determines the taste. So that isn't unusual. Then she told me the only way to get B vitamins from eggs was if they were fertile, the sperm gives the B vitamins. Ummmm.... that was a new one.
