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

[WoodenCoyote]

I have to say, one of the most common things I always get asked is "The hen doesn't need a rooster??"

My niece, who's 4, was surveying my flock and asked "which one is the doodle-doo?"
When I told her they were all hens, she nodded sagely and said "I'm a hen, I'm not a doodle-doo."

Funny how your niece refers to herself as a hen.

Awww that's so sweet haha! I guess she understood that hens were girls and roosters were boys and she well, put it together! Haha

SO are diabetics less prone to cancer since most forms of diabetes causes them to cut most if not all sugar and starched from their diet?

As a person with celiac disease who can't have gluten and spent 3.5 YEARS in the hospital every other week for a week vomiting violently, I have to be hyper aware of gluten, hidden gluten, cross contamination etc. It's a very serious debilitating disease.

All commercial chicken feed contains gluten. It is making me very sick again. Gluten is in wheat, barley & rye, which is in absolutely EVERYTHING!

I had to become a food nazi. Most gluten-free stuff sucks beyond belief to eat and is also insanely expensive. It's taken me 2 years to figure out how to properly cook gluten-free. I'm a foodie however, and very critical of everything I do.

There are mice on our property, I saw one in the barn last night when I was tending my chicks and injured slw. Suddenly my bf doesn't know what happened to the mouse traps.

The greyhound let another squirrel escape from the live trap again yesterday and the day before. Dang worthless greyhound. Today is a busy day, gotta go to the feed store and stock up on feed, and chicks ship Monday, so I need to prepare for them. Ahem. Yeah, that's the ruse anyways... there's a chicken swap at the feed store today, I'm thinking of bunnies and muscovy ducks. $600 in my pocket is a dangerous thing on this Saturday. Lol anyways, going to go talk to my fellow crazy chicken ppl, and see if my buddy will hook me up with some fresh raw goats milk to finish my dp meaties on and the bresse later.

After my greyhounds pass on, I think I need better livestock protection dogs.

I guess that means your drinking days are behind you since many forms of alcohol have grains in them, like beer, and whiskey.

Perhaps GMO watermelons have cholesterol in them!

No wonder I'm so calm and peaceful compared to my city friends ... even more so than some local friends. I live outside and/or on my screened porch, whenever weather permits, watching the chickens, working in or admiring the gardens and mountain views, listening to the creek below, and watching the change of seasons and the birds. I have a dear friend who's been in nursing for over 40 years who says my blood pressure must be really low after a few hours on the porch ... she's sure hers drops when she's here. (Unfortunately, as soon as she leaves the porch her neuroses and fears about everything raise it right back up again).

So, it's not just great for mental health ... nature is good for your physical health, as well. Certainly, we must live longer than citiots who are running in the rat race.

GMOs lets companies add very specific genetic information from completely unrelated plants into a crop. They don't purposely, nor accidentally add cholesterol into fruits and vegetables.

Yup not an exact science yet. And that's my main issue with it. Someday it could a very good thing (GMO) or a very bad one.
