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

[hennible]

I like to blame this "zero consequent" parenting. No spanking, time outs, no taking away privileges, no saying no! Don't even talk to them explaining what inappropriate about certain behaviours.Just do nothing let the kids do what they want they'll learn on there own... Or some crazy philosophy. It's other peoples kid that are the problem any way. Life has consequences so there should be consequences for kids who act like little you know what's.

Any way before some one else says it, got any more dumbest thing you ever heard stories?

I look at how kids act nowadays and how they acted in the 60's and agree with you all the way.

It drives me crazy how kids feel they can act to adults now.

Total disrespect. That is why the only thing kids know how to do is fiddle around on there handheld machines. What I say, is bring out the paddles!

heck, I graduated HS in 99, before the cell phone explosion. Just thinking back there was a few guys there that would have benefited from a good paddling. Then again, looking at some of their facebook profiles, they might have enjoyed the mild paddling a little too much.

I totally agree. Life is full of consequences. Teach your kids those consequences when they are young and the consequences aren't that big. Don't do it, and the consequences are going to be a lot bigger when they are grown and you can't rescue them anymore.

Silkies are not rabbits. They're tribbles. Brought to Earth in the 60s aboard the USS Enterprise.

MMMMM......I could love me a pair of Tribble Slippers........

40 years ago, when Silkies were very little known, I used to show them in the 4-H fair. I'd hold the hens and let people pet them (this was pre E. coli scares). Sometimes I would tell people I got them by crossing a chicken and a rabbit. You could tell the city kids vs the country kids by whether they believed me.

Sideshows used to display them and claim they had actual fur like mammals. Meanwhile, early Dutch breeders supposedly told the gullible they were part rabbit.

Yes in part the school lunch is one of many reasons kids are fat (mind you I said one of many) they ate healthier lunches when I started school in the early 80's but still I had never had a corn dog, pig in a blanket, or tater tots until I was in a school lunchroom. Gravy and fried foods where rare at my house growing up, like 1-2 times a year for either. dessert was a once a month treat if that often. I know that my home was an exception not the rule. Once a year my parents had literally a full chest deep freeze (a true chest kind, one you could kill a family of four and hide the dead bodies in kind) they bought a steer and had a local processing plant butcher it to order. I grew up with at least one meal a year each containing one of the following brains, ox tail, heart and beef tongue. most people my age have not and will not eat those things.

We skipped the brains, but I am very familiar with ox tails and our meat was kept in a meat locker. It was sort of like renting a freezer at a cold plant or grocery store.

Pigs in blankets in my family meant cabbage rolls, not dough wrapped around sausages. I wish the school lunch back when I was in first grade in 1960 had included pigs in blankets of the cabbage roll sort instead of macaroni and cheese.

I want Silkies, but they don't give enough eggs to be worth it. Maybe one Silkie next time I get more chickens.

adorable silkies are ALLWAYS worth it

My 4.5 year old Silkie still lays 5 eggs a week on average when she's not broody. Plus she's a great mama. I agree with Howlet: Silkies are worth it.

I love my silkies too they rarely take a day off laying so far and haven't gone broody yet. They're only 6 months old though lol
