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

[Kiniska]

Not terribly dumb but...
Was looking at the local feed store chicks and the lady at the counter starts trying to sell me some. I say no thank you I have some. "What type?" She asks. I reply, " Black English Orpingtons." Then she stated, "Orpingtons only come in Buff and White! They probably just gave you the wrong chicks." I did not bother explaining, she would've fallen over if she knew how much I have invested in my little velociraptors. Funny how people cannot think past what is in the catalog.

I put pics of my barred tock and golden laced Wyandotte chicks on Facebook and a lady commented on the photo: are you sure those are chicks because they aren't yellow?

Me: not all chicks are yellow, yellow chicks turn into yellow or white chickens and mine will be black and white

Her: oh well I'm not sure those are chickens I think they might be turkeys, you might want to return them

Oh My God, that reminds me, i was walking my 3 week old Runner ducks(they imprinted, so i led them onto the canal bank) and when i got up there, some jogger lady came by and nearly fell into the water out of shock.
her: "OMG! what are those???"
me: "Oh, these are my runner ducklings"
Her: Why do they walk like that??
Me: Its their breed type, i cant really control it.
Her: Oh, well they look creepy, i wouldn't want any of those.

Well, geez. 1) i wasnt offering 2) Thanks, like i care for your opinion.

some people......

Feedstore guy: Ya'll have fun with your chickens, but whenever I see people with chickens, I ask... do you know how cheap a carton of eggs is?

Thank you, mister. I totally was unaware that I could get a carton of eggs for cheaper until now.

Wanted so badly to ask why he was working at a feed store but I just smiled and nodded...

Next time, show him pictures of how your girls live versus how the birds that lay those cheap store-bought eggs live. He may decide to stop asking.

I hand some eggs to my neighbors who live 4 miles away. They are cattle ranchers, and know nothing about chickens.
Me: "Here are some eggs from our chickens."
They open up the container's cover. They see some green eggs mixed in with the blue, brown, and white.
Them: "Are the green eggs moldy?"

My mom told me this one. All except for one lady of the people who work there have chickens:
She brings in some eggs to the veterinarian office where she works.
Her: "Here everybody. I brought in some eggs from our chickens we can have at lunch break."
Lady: "Ew, I don't want to eat eggs that came out of your chicken's butt."
Her: "Where do you think they come from, a machine?"

I heard a joke about a wealthy woman was forced to eat a meal at a greasy spoon when asked what the special was for the day the waitress said tongue sandwich and the wealthy lady said she wouldn't eat anything out of an animals mouth so the waitress asked if she wanted an egg sandwich.

Not if you make the sausage yourself, like we do! You can even use cellulose casings, so no guts involved! No additives, just pork/beef/lamb (I use picnic pork shoulder), spices and occasionally some white wine.

I make my own breakfast sausage and form it into 1 pound rolls like you find in the grocery store. No gross stuff. I use pork shoulders. I'm planning on doing the same with venison if I'm successful this year.
