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

Right. I'm sure they aren't talking about the pesticides they spray on all of it.

Where I am from strolling in a field can get sheriff called on you. Do I blame them?? heck no!!

Right. I'm sure they aren't talking about the pesticides they spray on all of it.

I'm not saying there wouldn't be pesticides, but there are better and worse pesticides. And just as a little insect can do a lot of damage, so can a human with 3 dogs.

Loads of people here treat their chickens with all kinds of medicines, usually without any input from a veterinarian. Personally I'm horrified about how broad spectrum antibiotics are thrown at little bruises, but somehow that seems to be ok, while spraying produce with something is a crime against humanity.

I take a more natural approach to chickening. No antibiotics. I'm absolutely not ever ever taking a chicken to the vet, so if they get something they can't get over, well then they will no longer have to suffer... I do use sevin dust though. Sometimes on my garden, but usually just in the coop and on the birds. Which is poison... another way to look at that sign is a large business covering their but ts against a law suit. They might not have even used some deadly chemical...
But it makes the sign no less funny. To say the field of food is dangerous...

Oh, that's sad! You have such a big heart opening your home to take in the little kittens and puppies. These people should at least help support the animals they drop off at your place. It's amazing how some just don't get it.

if only

aww! It's amazing how these dirty little fluff balls can steal your heart

our boy Monro, my husband found him in the middle of a busy road while he was at work test driving someone's car. He thought that he was a little bag Laying on the road until he got close. He straddled him at the last minute then went back for him. He was the size of my Palm, flea infested and terrified, hissing at everything. He was so small, he couldn't even eat solid food yet! We had baby formula still from our daughter so I ended up soaking cat food (from our other cat) in it and feeding him that way. I bathed him up, cleaned him up really nice and got rid of all the fleas. We named him Monro, after the garage my husband was working at lol. He's almost 7 years old now and grew to be a big strong, 17 lb (all muscle, no fat) boy with tons of personality, who loves to play with the dogs (thinks he's one of them) and is always pouncing and attacking anything that can resemble a toy lol. I think he came from feral cats.

yup it is it why i have so many cats

the fda has said a lot of stuff was safe, until it killed a ton of people. You can not trust our government to keep us safe. They are a government made for the money, by the money, of the money..We've drifted a little since Abraham Lincoln

yeah like diazinon

well it was a few years ago their where 10 kittens and they where in bad shape to begin with (1 died the day after they got to us) they where a pure breed something because the lady that dumped them on me helped run our local kitten mill (until i yelled at her mom one to many times and they moved). They lived until they where about 4 weeks old but then they started dropping dead one after another 9 kittens in total died in one week to a rare heart valve disorder we lost 3 in one hour on the same day needless to say i had a crash course in feline CPR that day. I would have put them down if they had told me the reason why they wanted to get rid of them is because two cull cats both with the same heart problems got into each other pens and had two litters of kittens.

If i ever have to watch the life leave a bunch of baby's in my arms ever again i have to say i will be seriously thinking about suicide. Anyway a week or so after they left my dogs sounded the alarm and i ran out back to check on them to find they had cornered what i thought at first was a log

. Until it started mewing i moved the log and a dirty rat i thought at the time came running up my leg from their old backyard. It turns out it was a 3 week old pure breed long haired solid white kitten (my mom swears he is a main coon but idk) i had just finished doing necropsy's (since i couldn't find a vet to do them) and digging graves so i was going to take it straight to a shelter but i had to go to work so i took it inside and put it in a carrier. When i got home my mom had washed him (to which he grew to the size of a softball of fuzzy cuteness) she put a cute collar on him and given him the name Mr. Poof 6 years later he is known as my "little man" he loves sunbathing is crazy about cheese and hates dirty litter boxes.
he is going to be 7 in October

This is an awesome story. Thank you!

My dad thinks that brown eggs are better than the others. I told some of my friends about my chicks. They told some of the popular girls. And now I get mean looks and comments like:what do you want those filthy birds for(I reply:for eggs)or I'm glad I don't live near you.(In reference to the smell that isn't there). You can't prove that they are not right.

If they did live near you, you'd have to keep the chickens between you. That way any smell from the chickens would help cover the horrible stench coming from them and their attitudes.
