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

Quote: sorry guys, i didnt get pictures today... been moving chickens and starting to prepare for winter.

i dont have a true recipe for chicken noodles, i kind of alter it depending on what its going with, and the size of the chicken. keep in mind im one of those "the more meat the better" people.


basic chicken noodle soup:
serves - a small army

chicken and broth
1 whole chicken, 6 lbs or better
6 cups of extra chicken broth
as many sliced carrots as you feel it needs - the fresher the better
as much sliced cellary as you feel it needs - the fresher the better
2-4 cloves garlic
pepper as desired
1/2 medium onion cut to taste
i have also added some chicken rub seasoning, and just random seasonings from the spice cabinet.

noodles:
6 eggs
flower to match, im guessing about 4 cups but i really dont know
a couple tablespoons of chicken bullion powder

using a large crockpot, cook the chicken and broth ingredients on high for about 3 hours, or until tender. add water to fill crockpot half way. (giblets are up to you.) mix eggs and bullion and mix well, add flower until very stiff. put a small amount of flower on the counter and roll the noodle dough through it until covered. flatten with a rolling pin, adding flower every time the dough gets sticky. roll as thin as you can as they will plump up a little when you cook them. cut as desired, and repeat with remaining dough. set noodles aside to dry (if needed i will dust the noodles lightly with flower to keep them from sticking.)

once the chicken falls off the bone and shreds easily, remove it and shred it. put the broth in a pan, and bring to a boil and add noodles by small handfuls at a time. if the broth stops boiling stop adding noodles until it boils again. cook noodles for about 15 minutes or by your own taste. add the shredded chicken back to the broth and noodles and serve.

i know its a lot of starch but i love to serve it over homemade mashed potatoes (served just a little lumpy).

Sounds lovely I may have to try once I get chickens big enough to eat.

Awesome thread topic!

Actually, I had experience with the same topic that you opened the thread with.  I got into an argument with three of my co-workers (all of whom I had already shared eggs with at the time) over where the eggs came out of a chicken.  One of them sided with me fairly quickly, but the other two were adamant that they had an vent for doing their business out of and one for popping out eggs.  I threatened to take a picture of one of my chicken's butts to prove it and then they googled it and shushed up.  All of them still get eggs from me when I have spares, but one of them swears that if she hadn't been eating eggs for years that she just couldn't do it now that she knows that.  She did say that she'd rather eat them from my chicken's butts rather than the butt of a chicken she doesn't know.

Other stupid things I've heard...

"You can't eat the eggs if you have a rooster because they have chicks in them!"
"Chickens are one of the dirtiest animals."
"Chickens are vegetarians."
"Store eggs are cleaner and better for you."
"Chickens only lay white or brown eggs, and the color depends on what they're fed."
"Only roosters have the red things on their face and heads."

Muhahaha ok I have to admit when I was younger I was convinced that if the hen ha a rooster with them you couldnt eat those wggs because they had babies in them. You can thank my father for that one he traumatized me into thunking that but the chickens ate vegitarians i would gladley take a picture of my chickens jumping up to eat worms or my cleo (ee) jumping around to catch a butterfly or they part where I was tackled because I brought hamburger out to the bbq grill ( needless to say we had to order pizza that night) and they ate it all!!
Haha t your post made me laugh really hard

i guess i havent gave you all an update on this, she has kept 12 puppies so far. the one was stillborn and the runt didnt make it.  we have been giving her a high fat diet as recommended from our vet - kidney tallow, puppy chow, all the fatty trimmings when we eat, and any fatty leftovers.  yesterday she enjoyed about 4 lbs of homemade chicken noodles.  i have been adding eggs on my own, for the energy and to help her along.  she is still thin but has put on a descent amount of weight. ill take some more pictures tomorrow.  

she has amazed me with something though, i have never seen a mother dog do this.  when she feeds, she separates the puppies into 2 groups.  they are gaining weight well for that size of litter.  ill try to catch her feeding when i take the pictures.

You can also get powdered milk replaced( the kind you mix in water to bottle feed a puppy) and put couple teaspoons on her food. It has directions on the back for nursing momma s. we had to give to our dog in past. But be aware that when they start weaning she will continue to gain weight fast!! Ours loved it so much we had to wean her from it a little at a time because she would look for it!

Maybe I am strange but after owning my chickens I cant bring myself to eat chicken. I look at chicken at the store and see my meep, cleo, or my others and I just get mad. Lol I know its part of life and it sounds crazy but This is why I dont own a cow or other animals. Lol

No. I think it makes you compassionate. I eat chickens I raise, but after we process them I can't touch chicken for a week or better. Same with our goats. The larger the animal the harder, especially if you care for them properly while they are here. I don't think I could eat my Cockerels or breeder Hens. This is the main reason we don't have cows. Everyone's comfort zone and ability to dissociate is different. You just can't dissociate as much as I can and I can't as much as others can.

Getting back to silliness, I have been talking to my mom and dad about chickens and egg color genetics. My mom asked me a few days ago if a rooster had any influence o egg color. It took me a while to realize she meant the hen's eggs, not the resulting chick.

Well, that is an intelligent question. I mean feather and eye color are effected by both parents. Egg shell is not, but it was a good question. Thanks for the smile.
