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

[cluckcluckluke]

Alright I've got a few from today. My highschool FFA program set up a petting zoo for kids from the local elementary school. When the kids and their parents started showing up, they saw me with all of the poultry and waterfowl (chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, etc). And I had parents asking me the most stupid questions about the birds.
1)
Parent: how do you keep ducks in your neighborhood?

Me: what do you mean?

Parent: well they crow so loud, I don't understand how it doesn't irritate the neighbors.

Me: ducks don't crow...

Parent: of course they do! I grew up on a farm.

Me: ...


2)
Parent: so do your chickens lay eggs?

Me: yeah they do.

Parent: what do you do with them?

Me: well I eat them.

Parent: how can you eat those eggs?!?!?

Me: why wouldn't I be able to?

Parent: because they are brown eggs! They come out of a chickens butt!

Me: okay... So do you not eat eggs then?

Parent: well of course I do. I eat the white eggs made in the store.

Me: (speechless)


I don't know where people come up with these things...

That first one is hilarious!!
The only thing I can think of is she had ducks and roosters on her farm and perhaps thought the roosters...where..ducks!?!?!? hahah.

Second one - She actually said the eggs MADE is the store????
That is so funny.

My neighbors for the most part love my chickens (and the extra eggs that are passed over the fence) but one neighbor:

N: when did you get chickens?

me: about 2 years ago

N: chickens are noisy and filthy and smelly

me: um, when did you notice my hens?

N: I never noticed them. Someone told me you had chickens

me: so you've never heard them or smelled them?

N: no but chickens are smelly and noisy

me: oh, OK... well, let me know if you ever hear or smell them.
Meanwhile would you like to be on the "extra egg list"?

N: eeew, NO!

Too funny!

We make mac and cheese from scratch. It doesn't taste the same but it's good. Almost everything that comes out of a package contains artificial flavor. Check the ingredient list.
Artificial flavor is a huge industry. It may taste as good or better but it isn't food.

I didn't even know you could get Mac and Cheese pre ready?!?! That's country folk for you.lol.
We always make it from scratch.

im with you on that one. we have always made it from scratch as well as pizza, lasagne and pretty much everything. I wasn't aware you could get pre-made mac and cheese though

Yep, I agree. we have never had boxed Mac and cheese and we make our own pizza and sometimes homemade bread. I always thought box Mac and cheese tasted watery and didn't have much flavor.

You didn't tell them the pre-made mac and cheese comes with powdered cheese colored bright/deep orange that doesn't really taste like cheese.

youy know i've heard that myth all my life that hens won't lay eggs without a rooster....unfortunatlely it wasn't till recently that i found otherwise....i wonder where that started from.

It started from the farmer who had to many roosters and was trying to sell them lol.

It doesn't taste like mac and cheese either. Not sure what it tastes like but I do know I can't stand the stuff.
