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

[HorsebackBrony]

You just have to name them correctly. For instance, my two pigs were named Bacon and Sausage. My turkeys were Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't really name my chickens, other than a few of them, but I have a friend who names hers things like Original and Extra Crispy.

I have my one chicken in 4-H, where we raise them for eggs and eventually meat :/ and I named it Nugget.

So glad the chicks were getting will be ours to keep in the backyard!

Don't judge an egg by the color?

There was a story similar to that one years ago around here, but a small group of fiends of animals tried to rescue a herd of beef cattle in the dead of night...in the spring, when the mothers have just calved. And for anyone who doesn't know beef cattle, they are NOTHING like dairy cows. Beef cattle are about 1,200 - 1,500 pounds of WICKED bad temper, especially if they have calves, and one of the leading causes of death to farmers who raise them.

Several people ended up injured, one person very badly by getting trampled and in the hospital with broken ribs, two broken legs, some internal bleeding, and one hell of a lawsuit for cattle rustling.

A friends family raises Limousine's, I made the mistake of walking past a stall where mama cow was with her young calf. I jumped about 2 metres in the air when she charged the metal railing, luckily it was built to take that, but 750 kilos of cow coming at you is a bit intimidating.

Oh the poor thing. Someone must have beaten her. She needs rescuing now! Obviously a case of emotional trauma from never walking on grass.

Yes, I'm sure she never stepped foot on the tens of hectares of pasture provided for them, when not being penned up with a newborn calf. I'll just drive over there and load her up into the trunk of my car. Or I wonder if she would prefer to sit shotgun?

I think shotgun! Then she can see the world better.

Yeah, I've worked with dairys...and been chased by dairies. I accidently walked into one at night in the dark, and she definitely took exception to me waking her up! Never ran so fast in my life! *L*

The dummies trying to "rescue" the beeves happened a really long time ago, when I was still a kid. I remember asking "Did anyone survive?" So it's always stuck in my head.

I didn't see that about the cattle in the convenience store! That sounds hilarious. When did that happen?

The cattle in the convenience/liquor store happened a few years ago during the Puyallup Roundup parade, the one where they herd cattle through the streets. I saw it on the news - it apparently definitely qualified as a "News of the Weird" moment.

The cow horse was so impressive, as was the hand, they both just took care of business. And people ask me why hands only ride geldings.

Back in FFA, my big wake up moment involved a Jersey Bull. They are far meaner than Holsteins, and very nervous. One got loose at a fairgrounds and there were blue jackets going every which way as it was very close to where the FFA livestock was located and there were a lot of FFA kids hanging out.

This reminds me of the idiots who climbed into someone else's pasture with their dog and let the dog go running off to chase the donkey.

Big mistake. Jack didn't like it. Jack not only demonstrated how much he hated dogs, he was trying very hard to demonstrate how much he hated dog owners. They had some really cool barb wire rips on their clothing and bodies from their quick passage through the wires and back outside of the pasture..

Dog owners were appalled; they thought doggy could safely chase somebody else's donkey because donkeys are vegetarian.

I don't know how people got herbivores confused with Gandhi - but I'd sure like to know how they became so confused.
