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

[realsis]

Dumbest thing any one asked about my chickens is they asked what are they? Are they a bird? (I have silkies) for fun I say they are Chinese Ground Parrots! People believe me! Lol. Most the time when I'd say they are chickens they would say, that's a chicken? So that's when I decided to just say they were Chinese Ground Parrots. Gives them something to talk about till they figure out there is no such creature! Lmao!

Stating in the ad that they are 'straight run' should reduce the number of questions in half.... maybe, lol.

I did post that they were SR. That apparently means "senior" to some people.

Needless to say, I will not be posting on there again! Seriously........ I am not hatching out Senior Citizen chickens or adult Hens!

I just spit coffee on my screen! I had this instantaneous vision of a production line (ala Lucy and Ethel in the Chocolate company), trimming the fat from commercial eggs before they headed to the store! Oh, I need to get a life!

Well, that IS true. Of course, the fat they have more of is the good fat. Storebought eggs have less fat overall, but more bad fat than home-grown pastured eggs... So...

My chickens love love love fresh worms I use DE to help ward off any gape problems but several people who have watched me dig a hole in their run and watched them go gaga over a load of fatty worms have asked me "aren't you worried that one day you will crack and egg and a worm will be in it" my response "if that's how it works why don't people give birth to chickens and cows"? I knew that some of them may have been worried about transmission of parasites but some really meant it the way they asked. OK

So far everyone is laughing at me, but once I get them and get some eggs to hand out, they will change their tune. But I wanted to share what my 4 year old said. Not stupid but way cute..... I had stopped at the store to get a chicken for dinner and told him on the way home to not let me forget the chicken in the back

"Not one of our chickens??"

"No, we will not be eating our chickens"

He was worried about it and was asking where the head was, where the feathers were, when ours got bigger if we were going to eat them....... Funny conversation

I took two of my roosters to a friends house so her son could see them. I don't think either one of them had ever actually seen a chicken unless it was wearing a saran cover in the store!
