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

[Mah1Mah1]

My friend's aunt is convinced that chalaza is the umbilical cord of baby chickens....

Lol!

Guess what?!?

OK. How about calling the Dominiques over for treats and discovering that your guests have all run into the house and shut the back door? It seems the sight of small saurians bursting into the air and flying chest high as they attempt to cross the yard and be first for the treats has that effect on some people.

Others freak out when they finally decide to give the Dominiques a treat and a Dominique flushes from the ground and takes a snack from a scoop held up at chest height - or even knocks the scoop over.

Some people are more terrified when I try and point out that they can relax, the biddy behavior is only a result of being the closest living relative to T. Rex, but they are very, very small.

Love it!!
Yeah, I forget too sometimes that guests may not have the same mental disease as I do about chickens.
Great visual about mini-T-rexes.

The mini T Rex thing is really useful if the flock has caught a small rodent and is food running with it. It can be useful at distracting people who are about to faint or vomit - it's weird because cats are prone to excessively prolonging the suffering of their victims, yet people don't seem to hold that against them the way a couple of people have held food running against biddies.

I remember the first time I found a mouse nest in one of the trays of an isolation cage.
There were, oh, 6 or 7 pinkies in it. I thought I'd save them to give to my nephew for his snake.
I set the nest on top of a 5-gal bucket & turned around to continue cleaning.
Not 2 mins later, the flock is running around, cackling about the best goodies they have ever found.
It took me a little bit to put 2 and 2 together.
I was grossed out & happy for them at the same time. Then I cheered because I hate feral mice inside my domain with a passion.

It was almost as much fun as when the dog found a rats nest & got 4 of 7 - this was a yellow lab. She dispatched them but would not deign to eat them. Good girl.

I had two black labs that would do the same, they would dispatch them by tearing open there stomach and let them squirm.

Just like some people believe the moon is made of green cheese.

Chalazae (kuh-LAY-zee) - Ropey strands of egg white which anchor the yolk in place in the center of the thick white. There are two chalazae anchoring each yolk, on opposite ends of the egg. They are neither imperfections nor beginning embryos. The more prominent the chalazae, the fresher the egg. Chalazae does not interfere with the cooking or beating of the white and need not be removed, although some cooks like to strain them from stirred custard.
