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

[CyndiChick]

This actually happened to my brother not me.  He had a friend staying with him.  My brother had gone out and gathered the eggs one morning, he only had a couple of chickens, so he only got a couple of eggs and one of the eggs had a wrinkle.  Anyway a little while latter when they were getting ready to have breakfast my brother couldn't find the eggs he had just put in there that morning.  His friend had thrown them away because he thought they were old, because they were turning brown and starting to shrivel up.

ROFL I just snorted coffee out of my nose on that one!

They made me take them after I bit the dog

JK, but I did bite the dog. She wouldn't stop nipping too hard, so first I made her bite her own paw, then when she continued I bit her.

I'm not mean but I don't put up with anything either lol
I had a lady at the grocery store today... I was checking out the itty eggs they had for sale and commented to my friend that my eggs were bigger and better. The lady actually said "oh my lord- YOU lay eggs? I thought only chickens laid eggs! " I just started laughing and told her once a month I lay an egg

I had to clean my keyboard after that one.

I have never seen anyone push a full shopping cart that fast. And if looks could kill... I think I would have been dead on the spot lol

Oh, my mom in law (sweet woman and I LOVE her) she commented right after I got chicks a few weeks ago "Are you going to try and keep them over winter?" Do chicks expire in the fall? lol

But all the chicken I see in the store has a "best before date" .....

Lol we do that too it started when we first got rabbits and chickens so the kids would remember they were eventually food. Rabbits were taco and fajita. Chicken are extra crispy, spicy, crispy, mama(nt going anywhere), spot, fred(that one came from my son lol) etc. and my kids collect the eggs most of the time

HA. i thought i was th eonly one. for years and years we have named all our male goat kids names like : t-bone, steak, makluba (an arabian rice and goat dish), leban (soured goat yougurt/cheese), my two meat chickens of undeterminate sex were shnitzel one and two (shnitzel in israel is chicken breast fried up)... we've had gizzard, and stew, and one goat kid was just plain : food. it grosses my kids out when i do that but so what...

btw, there are hens that do crow, and take on rooster behavior, when there is no rooster in the coop. they also seem to lay less. not sure what the hormonal changes are, not sure if it is just behavioral. however, some cichlid fish do that, and other animals also change sex if a male or female is needed, however most in that situation are not fertile, but just have the behavioral traits of the male... and nowadasy people do that too. a good friend of my duaghter's changed her sex to become male, but left her female bits intact in order to get pregnant, had the baby, and has gone on to continue sex change hormones. a bit wierd even for my liberal views especially since here language designates whether u are male or female, but whatever..........the point is that nature has this also.

i love our ees and so does my 4 yr old they are her chickens.. and no i wont kill them as they suggested cause they lay bad eggs.. ugh. i love a colorful egg basket.. i might just start charging more for dark eggs. the ees we have are the sweet ones that like my kids.. so stupid. how the heck did people start with this brown eggs are the healthy ones ect.

all eggs are chemically the same. they would rather a med brown than a jumbo green.. these "city" girls have my dander up today
next think you know gurnsey cattle will give sour milk.

Now it's really bad when your own hubby, who has experience with raising chickens, INSISTS that the brown eggs are healthier than white eggs... more nutritious, he states. I'm looking at him like he's lost a marble or two. This is the same man who insists that you have to have a rooster in order to get your hens to lay eggs. All because he got this information from someone else, and the myths continue. When I dispute his statements, he just looks at me and says "we'll see". Yep! We'll find out your wife is the one with the correct information! And that goes back to Rule #1... the wife is ALWAYS right!

I have a silkie hen that crows in the morning to get my attention and tell me she wants scratch and out. There are two roosters in that pen. She doesn't like to submit to the boys and prefers to hang out with the girls so she's left alone and only rarely lays an egg. Once every month or so. I've caught her in the act and watched her lay, so I know she does lay. She will help out with the chicks when one of the others has them, but doesn't go broody herself. She has the body shape and feather quality of a hen. She has the worst crest of any of my silkies and it swoops back some and her comb is bigger than the other hens so her head looks boyish. I haven't named her but I think she needs to be called Dr Frankenfurter.

I'll have to remember that one! I have 12 turkey eggs in the incubator, and when they hatch, I'll do a lookover on the poults... then announce that out loud around the family. Can't wait to see the looks when it sinks in. ROFL!
