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

Quote: my granny did something like that with a duck, it had gotten out in the middle of the frozen pond and frozen to death and she put it in a tub of hot water thinking it would come back to life

But it worked on cartoon shows on TV. I remember seeing stuff like that. And remember everything you see on TV is true....

Just like everything you read on the internet is true.

My brother just got 6 chicks... his girlfriend (from chicago) is furious that he did not get a rooster! She said whats the point if you cant get eggs!!! We all said what?? She WILL NOT believe that a hen will lay an egg without a rooster. We just gave up...When those hens lays their first eggs...it will be a miracle!!

Had to hop back on here and get caught up. I love this thread! During my break...

On my way to pick up 26 chicks from the hatchery, in a large SUV, my brother says, "I hope they'll all fit in here." Shoulda seen his face when he saw the little box they came in!

My aunt came to see the chicks yesterday. "Eeeww, they poop!" Yup. Chickens poop.

The most intelligent comments are coming from small children.

Aunt: Why are you cleaning poop off them?
4 Year Old: Because there's no mommy chicken in there to do it for her!
Aunt: When will they lay eggs?
6 Year Old: When they grow up, just like people!

Kids are great!

You should have asked what the chickens where supposed to do eat until they explode? I mean what animal does not poop if they eat....

Try adding some beef fat--not much fat in venison.

That, and what little fat there is needs to be trimmed off because it goes bad quickly.

Tell her it's the immaculate conception all over again.

I prefer them to most adults for that very reason. And, kids aren't convinced they can't possibly be wrong like the poster above said:

She WILL NOT believe that a hen will lay an egg without a rooster.

My dad is rocket scientist. He works for NASA. We had a huge fight over whether or not I would get eggs without a rooster. My mom nearly b@tch slapped him. He won't try our (roosterless) eggs b/c they can't be clean, they come from our back yard. In the city

Hi faithsstuff...my husband is also a rocket scientist. He used to work on the space shuttle program and now works with missiles. He even has a t-shirt that says, "Yes, in fact, I AM a rocket scientist!" Hubby says your dad makes the other rocket scientists look bad and that they should take away his membership card and kick him out of the club.

And hey, the more eggs your dad won't eat, the more for you to eat or sell. That's what I call a win-win scenario.

I had a similar fight with my father many years ago when we were on our way to tour a science museum. I said I couldn't wait to see a real Tasmanian Devil. My father scoffed and told me that there were NO such things in real life - they were just in cartoons. We argued quite heatedly about it until we approached the exotic animals exhibit where they had a lovely Tasmanian Devil specimen stuffed and on display. Boy, did that shut him up!

My mom grew up on a farm and lived in the country most of her life after moving off the farm and she thought the same thing about flying squirrels until her cat brought her a dead one the cat killed she asked me what it was and I told her and pointed to the extra skin it used to "fly" (rather they actually glide like a hang glider) and she wouldn't believe me, and at that point my brother called me an my cell phone I told him "tell your mother there is such a thing as flying squirrels. it took him telling her three times to believe us with a freshly killed one as evidence at her feet....
