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

[richicken]

The other day in a city near my town I watched on the news about the city passing a ordnance o.k. to have hens,and then a week later the city decided in ban chickens.The news crew went out in interview people in the streets and one guy was asked whats wrong with having chickens and he said you cant have eggs without a rooster and the news man agreed with him.I looked at my wife and said are you kidding me.. Some people have no idea.

Another one!!!!
I have co worker that always is asking me how many dogs/cats I have. She does that in front of people and she does it to make fun of me. She saw in facebook that I have chickens and asked about them again in a way I dont apreciate. I told her I did not wanted to discuss my chickens in front of the collegues because I dont want people to judge because of my lifestyle. Guess what!!! In this last meeting she waited to have a full table of people to ask me....."Remember you told me not to talk about your chickens in public? Why? Are you ashamed? You know she has chickens , Right? "
Now everyone was looking at me....and I felt my face was turning white. I just took a deep breath and told everyone about my chickens and their beautiful color eggs. I took my phone out and started passing it so everyone could see pictures of the eggs and my babies (chickens). Talked about all the troubles I encountered in bringing them here and the joys of eating healthy and not contributing to animal torture in the eggs factories. And that's how I got out of the last closet.
That happens to me for trying to keep some things in the closet for some people. The chick is out of the bag....yeayyyyy

By the way....I have 6 dogs, 2 cats and around 24 chickens. Love them all.

Next time tell them you aren't ashamed; you just wanted to save *them* the embarassment of looking stupid when they ask silly questions about chickens that every child should know. For example, "Don't you have to have a rooster to get eggs?" Or, "Aren't the green/blue ones rotten?" Or, "Hen? I thought you said it was a chicken!"

So I live in Puerto Rico and one time when I went shopping with my future mother-in-law and bought eggs at the store
and sense they were brown eggs her response was "oh those are Puerto Rican eggs". In my mind I'm just like what?
That is just like saying white eggs are American eggs and dark brown eggs are African eggs. haha

And, the blue ones are Smurf eggs.

(I crack myself up)

Believe me. This is not the first time laws have been created out of ignorance and/or misinformation, and it won't be the last, either. (Think banning guns to keep schools safe, while letting lunatics run free.) Scary, ain't it?

That co-worker sounds like some people I know

. I don't know what gives people the right to tell everyone what should and should not be and to be so judgemental. I want to ask "who made you queen of the earth?" I used to have goats that we would walk down the street on leashes just like a dog. They were really good about it. We did it because they stayed in their pen all day and we wanted to give them exercise. So our neighbor drives by and sees us walking them and says we should have our own reality show just for owning goats and walking them

I dunno but that sounds like it would be a really boring show lol

What gets me is that Mabhera is too polite not to put this grown up bully in her place. There a people who feel they can say what they want with no regard to how it affects someone but don't do it to them because they come unglued and act a fool.

We had a supervisor that was that way, she talked about everybody and one day while she talked about how one of the men wore too much cologne because he was tying to hide the fact that he did not bathe (he did bathe, this was just how she was) someone blurted out "well at least he has enough concern for others. You should try to cover up the fact that you do not wear deodorant or own a tooth brush now let's go to HR." The lady that spoke up had had enough and she thought HR was her next stop but it did not happen there were too many people at the meeting that would have backed her up and the supervisor was too shocked to say anything to anyone not to mention she did not expect the HR comment. Oh she stopped her bullying.

For all you vegans: I also grow a big garden, to feed my family and animals. Do you wear leather, either on your coat or boots? Better check your closet! I am sure that if you deeply checked your lifestyle you will find you are using animal products somewhere. Don't be so quick to judge. If all you want to eat is carrots fine, just be nice to them when u pull them out. For *^#$ sakes! As for being poor: I'm there with ya! Poor is as poor does I think. I don't have a big savings or investment account, but I make sure my family and friends eat good and healthy. Being poor has forced me to get more in touch with nature and realize our actual needs in life. There is no better contentment than knowing you are being a good animal "husband" and seeing the benefits of it. I think this can be overlooked if you don't need to look at it. Does that make sence? Rich people are missing out. Enough rants, this is supposed to be humorous. I'm gonna go check my chickens and have a beer.

And don't forget makeup! I know there are companies that pick up bones from meat shops and stores and grease bins are behind stores and restarunts and they use that stuff in make up, makes me not want to kiss my dear old aunties who layer that stuff on or my lady friends who I take out, also look on your lotions, where exactly do you expect to find a "lanolin" tree??? lol...

My uncle's wife likes to eat eggs but each time my grandmother gives her blue or green eggs she refuses to eat them because they are rotten. How many times we have to explain to her those eggs are ok and it's just the color of the shell?

I wonder, does she throw out firm cheeses with mold on them? since it is common logic that firm or simi-firm cheese are okay if you cut off the mold.....

I' dont think polite is the adjective for this situation but thanks for being polite with me....lol.

When I am taken off guard I am not able to find something smart to answer ....but later I start to think all the great things I could have used. But it's too late.

And sometimes is not worth it to spend time or energy in this bullies. it's easier to try to live as far from them as we can and never share with them eggs. Once I told her my recipe for happiness was different from hers....she never got it.

I have to admit that I need to be borderline crazy with anger to say something similar to what your coworker said to the supervisor. Sometimes I wish I could ,...sometimes i dont. But that's just how I am.
