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

[Bethel3330]

She is positive I am the idiot in this conversation, so I feel like I would be wasting my breath..........

You cannot reason with the unreasonable.

Absolute proof to not trust Yahoo answers........

I had another woman try to make me understand about how the rooster - hen relationship theory works. she insists that a hen cannot lay an egg if she is not with a rooster.

I explained that my roosters are in a bachelor pen when I am not collecting eggs to hatch. She actually said, " are you so stupid that you don't realize the roosters get out of the cage while you are at work and visit the hens?"

HELP!

oy vey. Do they run to the store to pick up some wine before they "drop in" on the hens, too? A little music, and some soft lights? I'd hate to think those roosters are just sneaking over there for a quickie without romancing the hens a little, first. Men!

Ask here where she got her information, then tell her to visit this Google page to find TONS of sources verifying the rooster/hen/egg thing is just a myth. (And she called you stupid. Sheesh!)

I just want to know how hens who have never even seen a rooster can lay eggs then. Lots of people just own hens and they still get eggs. There must be a band of roving roosters...

I can't imagin anyone having that conversation either. By the way I lived on Round Valley years ago. Willits is a beautiful area.

My nan told me she can't take my eggs because they make her cakes too golden

Ahhhhhh. One of those. You're right - don't waste your breath. However, keep us posted about any other of her great theories on life, whether they're about chickens or not. They should be equally entertaining.

You can't cure stupid.

My latest - A neighbor brought her grandchild to see my hens. He met the girls and was able to pet several of my hens. I lifted my broody hen and the boy was delighted to see two freshly laid brown eggs. I urged him to pick them up, one in each of his small hands. His eyes were as large as saucers when I pointed out which of the hens had laid the eggs.

Then grandma piped up, "I only eat organic eggs."

(Ah, another mindless person hooked on advertising!)

I pointed out that the eggs in her grandson's hands had, within the past 10 minutes, popped out of my hens' butts. How much fresher and organic could she possibly get??

Noooo, she wouldn't eat the eggs but she'd let the grandson take them home. I hope he did get to eat them.

That's funny, I love using my chicken's eggs for baking because of that! Lol!

It's just a preference, I guess.
