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

[tinamommy727]

I have a sister that whenever her kids spend the night she brings over a carton of eggs, so just in case I want to make scrambled eggs in the morning, I won't use my eggs that I got from my chickens. She literally is that squeamish about it. I just go along with it because I want my nieces and nephews to spend the night. I know its really stupid. but some people you just can't change.

A neighbor found out my two girls are out in the pen (by tresspassing....but i digress). He proceeded to beat on my door to tell me my rooster had woken him up every day for a month. My girls hadnt even been here that long. Now, at the time, my ordered rooster had not hatched and was six states away. I told him if my rooster was waking him up, he had bigger problems than i thought. (He breeds labs who bark 24/7/365-if i had 20 roosters i doubt he could hear them over those dogs).

When i told my husband about it, he said we would save the "whoops, lost an egg" batch that i missed while collecting and give him a peace offering egg basket.

My husband is the one here....says it is generally not normal to eat fertilized eggs. Refuses to eat them because he thinks the roosters 'stuff' is inside the egg......
Ridiculous...

Ask the kids what they want to eat. I take eggs down to my Mom when I visit since store eggs make her sick. She let's my young niece pick out what egg she wants to eat. It is always the bluest one she can find. I've also taken eggs to a girl we know. Her daughter loves the blue eggs, and is very excited to eat eggs when she brings them home.

OMGosh, I am totally amazed that so many people think that eggs are dairy! I ask them why they think an egg is dairy and they say because you buy them in the dairy section at the store, by the yogurt. I tell them the last time I checked no cow ever laid an egg! The looks on their faces are hilarious.

They range from total disbelief to total confusion.

Then they want to know what eggs are if not dairy, because they come from the farm, you know! I politely say "Eggs come from a chicken, therefore they are poultry", to which I receive more head scratching! Too funny!

Does she kiss her husband and kids? Where does she think *they* came from? Talk about making her squeamish!!

People's lack of common sense just kills me.

Now THAT's love! LOL. My chics come running whenever I go outside or come home. One of them always seems to want to be picked up and one always jumps on my back if I bend over near her. At night when they return to their roost I sit on the porch of their chicken coop and "cluck" in soft tones and they LOVE it. They quiet right down and "talk" softly back to me. I love my little hens, all of which are named.

I have one hen that absolutely has to follow me around where ever I go, So I bought some of those washable diapers for chickens. Every now and then she comes in the house with me and stays in the kitchen. We put up a baby gate so the dogs won't mess with her. So when the kids are hanging out in the kitchen she comes in every now and then and hangs with them too!

Too cute!

I know this is a bit off topic, but I watched this series on TV, and have watched the missed episodes online. I found it very good. Maybe you can slide a few episodes into your teaching. There are quite a few to watch for a range of animals and products.

Series is "Kill it, cook it, eat it" Made by the BBC. The series cover beef, pork, chicken and other animal products like rendering, beauty, additives suede's and leathers.

I definitely will!

Ok, We live at 9,000 feet elevation. Several neighbors asked me if my hens will die off in the winter, like the wildflowers. I told her they are BIRDS for Pete's sake, the chickadees and jays stick around, so will my hens. Maybe I should buy them all tickets to fly to Florida?
