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

[ChaoSS]

Really almost any animal that spends time outside can be a carrier of a number of diseases that could be dangerous to unborn children and individuals with suppressed immune systems.

I've raised chickens for over 30 yrs. My daughter refused to eat the meat because she 'knew' that chicken. I never named any, other than a few banties. I NEVER wash my eggs unless they are dirty. They come out of the chicken with a naturally protective film on them. My customers like that. I had to explain why to a few people. They are appreciative that they are getting REALLY natural eggs. Some friends ask why I go to the expense of feeding my chickens organic feed plus other food that is not organic but non-GMO. And some want to know why on earth I feed alfalfa every day. I live in the desert where the chickens can't be free range and eat greens so I do the next best thing--the best quality alfalfa I can find--and GUARANTEED no GMOs. The junk food friends just don't seem to get it, but my customers do!

And often arguing with soon to be parents only ends in them being upset with you. Easier to comply (unless it's a too often reccuring thing).

So, I'm just chillin' with my chickens and loving life in general when my sister calls me today and asks me to not come to my niece's baby shower next week (she's having twins!) without showering and changing clothes and shoes at my mom's house beforehand. I live about an hour away from them, but they all live in the same town. I ask why and she says she was talking to a friend of hers about me owning chickens and the friend told her that chickens can transmit some fatal disease to unborn babies. What?

I told her to call my niece's doctor and ask about that...

So, is that why our farmer ancestors had so many healthy children?

Didn't you traditionally have 12 kids out of which 4 made it to adulthood? I'm not saying chickens were the cause, but still.
