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

[mrballance]

I don't agree with importing wildlife and being careless enough to crossbreed it (if it was an accident), but would have rather seen the pups put down? I get what you're saying, it is why I tell people not to 'rescue' from bad pet shops, but  I don't think the poster here really had much to do with the problem, from what we've seen here.

Yes they should of been put down and the police called.

Okay, this isn't the dumbest things said about dingos thread, anyone have any new chicken stuff for us?

Though I do think these discussions are interesting, I have to agree with Subhanalah. I love to come here and read all the dumb and funny things people say about chickens.

I heard the "The blood spot means the egg is fertile" thing again yesterday. I explained in detail what it really is and how to actually tell if an egg is fertile.

My sister visited a couple nights ago. After about 15 minuets, she noticed the chickens were free in the back yard, and yelped "Do you realize I could have gone in there???" (She's terrified of our chickens)

she would be terrified to walk into my backyard, I'm mobbed at lightning speed when I step outside. One girl runs as fast as her little chicken legs will carry her to come and see if I have some snacks...When I don't she screams at me.

If the back door opens, mine come running. The brahmas also check to see if I didn't get the door closed. They will happily go inside and steal dog or cat food.

OMG, I was telling a lady at work the other day that I'll be getting chickens this summer and plan to have lots and lots of eggs.  I told her I'd bring some in for her so that she can taste how much better they are.

Know what she said?

Her: "Oh my GAWD, eeeeeewwwwww, I could never eat those eggs!"

Me: "Ummmm, why not?

Her: "Well, BECAUSE, they came out of a chicken's butt!"

Me: "Ummmmm.  Huh?  You eat eggs from the store, right?"

Her: "Well, yeah, of COURSE, but that's different!"

Me: "How is that different?  Those eggs also came out of a chicken."

Her: "But those are all sanitary and come in a box."

Me: "I'll wash my eggs and box them for you too."

Her: "Blech, no way.  I could never eat eggs from your chickens.  That's just gross."

Me: "***?"

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!

LOL, this is just too much.  No wonder I want to quit my job and become a pioneer woman and never have to leave the house...

My aunt also believes this. She tells me all the time " I get my eggs from the store". Those come from chickens also I say. To which she replied.. " no they don't... They come from the store"!!! Needless to say I laughed till I almost cried.

Orpie, that's good! I wonder if people that believe as your aunt does, think the store also has a garden out back for the produce section and a herd of cows for the meat department?
