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

Quote:
And I thought everyone understood that some cuts of meat are from calves and not full grown cows too. Same thing but different if you get my meaning....

I ran into a lady at tractor supply that asked me what I was doing.... I told her that I was raising chickens and she told me to expect to loose over 1/2 of my flock. I ignored her statement as it was not something I would except... not that great of loss anyway. I checked out facebook one day and found that her llama goat died... and wondered how anyone could raise a llama or goat and not be able to tell them apart and realized that her stupidity is what was killing her animals and they where dying because she did not know what she had so she did not know how to care for them. She figure that if she couldn't do it no one could. 15+ weeks later I have 26 of 26 chickens and now know it does not take a rocket scientist to raise chickens that even a five year old can take care of the basic needs and that she does not belong anywhere near an animal.

A cure for this stupidity..... when people ask you if you eat eggs that come from your chickens butt tell them " NO absolutely not.... I only eat the ones I laid" or if they say they can't eat eggs that come from your chickens butt tell them "GREAT because I laid these eggs myself.... shall I make you a ________"..... roflmao

Father-in-law was over again. Apparently fresh eggs are only good for about a week. But you keep the ones from the store for how long? I really need him to quit talking to me.

I was asked once how they" needed to ripen the eggs I gave them". Ripen?? " yes... those green ones that needed to ripen. Do you leave them in the window or ????"

Eggs from the store are usually at least three weeks old when they get to the store, add on two weeks before you get them........ I think fresh eggs are good for a LITTLE longer than a week. Especially since they haven't been dunked in God-knows-what to sterilize them.......

I've kept my fresh eggs 2 months and ate them no problem.

A lady at work was buying eggs from me until she heard me tell someone the chickens loved to eat grasshoppers! I'd hate to see what she'd do if I told her what has touched that salad she eats from the grocery store!!!

I've approached it this way with people - it does no good. They always argue that in our great country, surely someone has sterilized food before it reaches the customer.

The only possible reply at times like this is, "Thank you for your input". THE END. He's your in-law; nothing else you can do, but thank him and then ignore him.

ex·trav·a·gant

/ikˈstravəgənt/

Adjective

1. Lacking restraint in spending money or using resources.
2. Costing too much money.

Synonyms
wasteful - lavish - prodigal - excessive - unreasonable

It isn't extravagant if it keeps you from going to the chicken house every sunup and sunset, expecially in the freezing rain or snow. At $25, it's entirely reasonable. Carpeting the hen house is extravagant, or making the chichens' roost out of polished mahogany.
Where do you get an automatic timer for that price, Biddies? I'm assuming it's do-it-yourself?

Oh .... there's a limit? What is the magic number of pets that qualifies as "too many"? How about "just right"; what's that number? Who decides? Does it only count for animals that are kept in the house, or does it go for those outside, too? What if your pets are inside AND outside; how are they counted? How about fish; do they count? How many can you have in an aquarium before you're over the limit and have toooo many pets? What about Koi in a fish pond or cows? Do they count? If chickens are kept outside and produce food, but are considered "pets", how about cattle? Is one cow ok, but a herd too many? Do birds at your birdfeeders count? You're feeding them and probably watch and/or talk to them, so aren't they like having chickens?

Where can I find these rules; is there a manual? And, *who* wrote them?

Inquiring minds want to know.

In the city that I live nearby the legal limit is 3 pets per household. I think it's the stupidest law that I've ever heard in my life, but then again I used to keep goldfish so I'm aware that some pets take up more space than others. Thank goodness I'm in an unincorporated area.
