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

[Lifestudent]

We used to wake up with snow on the sleeping bags. Our family often camped to go deer hunting so it was in the late fall. We snuggled inside our quilt enhanced sleeping bags while the adults got a fire going and made breakfast. I always pulled my clothes and coat inside the sleeping bag to get dressed for the day because it was so much warmer! lol. Oh fun times!

I haven't had snow on the sleeping bags, but I do sometimes camp out when deer hunting. I've found that in my canvas wall tent, when it's in the 30s with a 35mph wind off the lake, my catalytic heater doesn't stand a chance. Since I'm camping by myself and both leaving camp before sunrise and returning after sunset, I've been relying on MREs so I don't have to cook in the dark. (MRE, meals ready to eat. Three lies for the price of one.)

I love coming to this thread when I need a smile or a good chuckle

The question I still get asked the very most.. " How do the chickens lay eggs if there's not a Rooster in with them ??" That seems to be the chart topper of questions around here

Another cute story.. When my nephew came to stay with us... one day he was collecting eggs for me and he came running in yelling "Call DR Seuss Call Dr Seuss" He was so excited and shocked all at the same time. I was confused until he held out the green Eggs that my EE hens had laid LOL He had no idea that there were different colored eggs


Then just today a lady stopped by to buy some eggs... She asked me.." How often do you have to oil the hens bottoms???"
I stared at her confused and said "What do you mean" She sweetly replied" You know oiling the bottom so the eggs come out naturally"
I asked Where did you get that idea?????

She explained that she is a nursing assistant in a birthing center an that they usually use some sort of lubrication during a birth......(????)

I told her that that concept was new to me (I'm also a Nursing Assistant) But I could see how that may be needed for some cases at some times. I then explained to her that chickens on the other hand do not need oiling as a normal daily practice. Only sometimes if there is an problem

She seemed embarrassed so I tried to soften the whole thing by telling her. It was "great chatting with her.... I think we BOTH learned something new" Even though I was still a bit perplexed by the methods she explained LOL......

This is something that is done to soften the perineum, it helps prevent tearing or the need for episiotomy. It's used in birthing centers, but not very common in hospitals.

Although I don't believe that we will find ourselves in a war that leaves us without the ability to continue on with our modern lifestyle, I like knowing that I'm NOT dependent upon it. My fear has always been that something would happen to my employment so that I couldn't afford to live. Plus, I'm just plain independent and ornery, so don't like depending on others. Therefore, it gives me a great feeling to know that, if the unexpected should ever happen, I'm not going to be frantically looking for a way to survive. Unfortunately, I have city friends who are looking to me as their "backup plan", which really irritates the stew out of me.

No wonder I can relate to your posts! You and I think alike!

I had a funny one a few months ago. They are a bit like the silly shop egg one above - I had one say she would never eat chicken that had been killed, they would only buy chicken from the supermarket because it has been manufactured and no animals hurt in the process... Um what? I tried so hard not to laugh!

If that was true, I would make sure to NEVER buy meat from the stores!!! Not artificial meat for me, thank you!!

I have mentioned this before but I have a niece that will only eat chicken from KFC. Why? Because according to her, the reason Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC is because they were no longer serving real chickens. They were using some mutant artificial chemically fed chicken substitute. No real chickens were killed in the process. There was an internet hoax to this effect a few years ago and she swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

I think McDonald's must use this same product in their nuggets, because I'm quite sure that "meat" is NOT real chicken! ;-)

Like P.T. Barnum said, "There's one born every minute." Like my son says, "Too stupid to breed."

Ask them if they'd like to buy some eggs that don't come from live chickens. I ship free.
