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

Well the first eggs would change the proportions in the recipe.
We always gave the first pancake, waffle, etc to the dog. It was for testing the temperature of the griddle more than anything else but reasons why tend to get forgotten. I could see a tradition like that easily becoming a superstition.…

Out in the northwest the story was about cutting the top off of a turkey and the oven being too small.

Yes, egg shells are somewhat porous. This is why air gradually gets into them, making it better to wait until they're 1-2 weeks old before hard boiling so they're peel easier. It's also why they float in water when they're old.


Tell her it would save her time and trouble if she just ran them through the dishwasher. Top rack would work best.

My mother in law asked me about chickens yesterday.  She asked if they were laying yet.  I told her no, but soon.  She asked if I was going to throw the first several eggs away?    I probably gave her a rude look and said, "NO!! Why would I do that?!!"  I've been waiting so long on these eggs that question just took me by surprise and brought out a strong reaction  lol.  Her reasoning was to not eat them until the chicken gets all the kinks worked out.  Is this some old wives tale?  Something people used to do back in the day?  The first time I find an egg I will probably run screaming into the house, call the family together, scramble the egg and divide it into 4 tiny bites and demand they all have their bite right away. 

Throw them away...

that's what we did with our first egg lol. It was a very small egg too lol. Everyone got 1 bite

Quote: when we have lots of eggs we scramble them and put them in frezzer bags, then freeze them to keep for when the hens stop laying in the winter.

LOL!!! Might make an interesting way to make hard boiled eggs!

I work at a vegetarian institution and we have a lot of students that can't wait to go home on break and eat meat.  They are usually sick for days.  I always warn them!

Are all your students being taught to be rudiments or something

No we are teaching them to be advanced. (I don't think rudiments is the word you wanted).

Ruminants is probably the intended word. It's no less offensive to suggest that a vegetarian lifestyle is more advanced, however.

What I took from jc12551's post is that she works for a school that happens to be a vegetarian organization (unsurprising, as she's adventist). That doesn't necessarily mean that she believes that vegetarians are advanced. I would hope that the goal of all schools is to advance the education of its students.
