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

[SpringPeeper]

Someone looking over my meat roosters which I mentioned I would be butchering soon.

"You're going to butcher them all now, at this size?"
"Yes"
"All of them as chicken?"
"Um... yeah? They're ready."
"You should let a few grow out to turkey for Thanksgiving, though."
I swear, this is not actually a dumb man. He has a successful career in engineering and is a carpentry and mechanical whiz. I was at a loss for how he thought that was how chicken/turkey meat 'worked'. After a brief conversation where he mentioned chicken was like 'veal' and turkey was like 'beef', I think we figured out that he was wrongly remembering the 'Cornish Game Hen' vs. 'Chicken' labeling system.

Link didn't work.

I'll try it again. Electricity is involved with computers, they do weird things around me.

http://thedogsnobs.com/2013/06/13/***-wednesday-12/ I think I know why, change the first asterisk to w. The second to t. The third to f. No words, just the three letters. t'd guess there's an automatic filter for language on the forum.

"Chickens growing out to turkeys". The things people say...
I don't know if I would be able to stop laughing at this person's comment even if I tried

Any link with words in it that get censored will get censored, and not work. The easiest way to work around that is to use a link redirector, like tiny url.


:edited:

Apparently BYC doesn't allow certain bbcode... but the link works.

Oh my goodness.

I actually have a child aggressive (yes, children specifically. She's small and they move quickly) dog. I can't imagine muzzling her with something CUTE. (although I also don't muzzle her. If you start walking up without asking, I very bluntly state 'she bites'.)

Mom was walking by my chicken tractor this morning and she did a quick beak count, seeing only 5 of them and started talking to them about it when the sixth one popped her head out of the coop area nest boxes.

This is full of ignorance, sad, pathetic, ignorance. The countless references to steroids, hormones, and genetically modified chickens gave me a headache.

Oh, yeah, and the fools who are building down the street asked, "Are there any snakes up here?". Lady, we're in the mountains in a county that's 70% national forest, and creeks and streams everywhere you look. No, there're no snakes. <eyeroll>

Where my Aunt lives in southern Indiana they have 3 different poisonous snakes, the timber rattler (the most deadly in North America my understanding) the water moccasin (just in the south western part of our state) and then the lesser of the poisonous snakes that live here is the copper head, it can take several hours to kill someone from a copper head bite, there was a boy who lived in the next town over from my aunt, and he was bit by a copper head, mom and boyfriend didn't know what kind of snake the kid went to them when bit and when they looked it was gone. Parents took him to the nearest hospital, in my Aunt's town. They where told "there are no poisonous snakes in Indiana" the bite was cleaned with anti-septic and bandaged. In the middle of the night the boy woke up and his legs where paralyzed, he drug himself to the mom and boyfriends bedroom door and knocked and they woke up and called the pediatrician, and he told them to meet him back at that same hospital and there he gave the boy anti-veniremen. The poor kid will always have nerve damage now because of the hospital's stupidity. The hospital was struggling before financially and it was forced to close because no one would dare go there......
