i was talking with a "co-worker" who was eating some KFC when i said "I'm gong to be raising some meat chickens at the end of the year" and after talking and explaining what a "meat chicken" was he said "that's so mean why would you ever want to kill a chicken to eat it!!!" And i said "so what are you eating?" and he said "KFC" to which i said "no your eating chicken" And i thought he was going to puke

I told the girls at work that I was getting some hens and a rooster and they ALL assumed that meant the egg was going to have a fully formed chick when they cracked it, I had to go online and SHOW them what a freshly cracked fertilized egg looks like compared to an unfertilized egg to convince... some of them. >_<

After reading some of these comments I thought I would share a story about my kid's 8Th grade English teacher.

In addition to teaching English, he has taken it on himself to do a few extracurricular activities.

He has a school garden.

He has building projects where the kids build Dog houses, chicken coops and other things they sell and the profits are split among the students.

He also raises chickens, tight there on the school yard. The chicks are hatched in the classroom incubator, then transferred to the brooder and then out into the chicken run.

The kids are responsible for cleaning the coop and run, and even learn how to process the birds, and take them home to mom in a plastic bag.

These kids will not be asking the dumb questions when they grow up.

Our High school Biology/Zoology/FFA Advisor/Teacher does something similar. One of the major projects of her curriculum is having the kids raise 2 sets of broiler chickens from chick to slaughter. The school has a small building just for this purpose. The kids even compete (gasp!) to see which group can raise the bigger birds! Learning by doing...it's the best way!!

lol's i had to go online to show him that KFC actually meant Kentucky fried chicken not Kansas farmer company

i kind of felt bad for laughing at him though because judging from the look on his face he truly did not know although i should ask him what he thought he was eating through the years

I gave a dozen eggs to a man helping me build onto my chicken coop. The next day, he told me his wife wanted to know it the eggs would hatch in their refrigerator??? HE KNOWS WE ONLY HAVE HENS, NO ROOSTER!
