adorable silkies are ALLWAYS worth it

I don't know about that; rumor has it that they are actually monsters from another planet sent here to take over the world.

You are so dead on, some of the kids I have seen need to be locked in the basement, with their parents, till they (the kids) are 25-30. Then bring them out & teach them to act like a human being. I work at one of the "Dollar Stores", and it is almost worse with the grandparents that come in with the grand kids...Grandma get me this, I want that, and they NEVER tell them NO! and they NEVER say Thank You, EVER!!! And it is from the little ones, up to the teenagers. And what is worse, I see so many grandparents now raising the grand kids, and the grandparents are letting the grand kids act like fools.

Now back to our original program......

Where I live, some of the parents need to be locked up until they are 25-30, or at least fifteen or sixteen.

OK.....this is very embarrassing.

Disclaimer: I am an accidental chicken owner. This was my daughter's dream, she lost interest in chickens super fast, I took over, had to have a crash course in chicken management, and here I am today passionately in love with all things chicken.

Before this, I was blissfully ignorant like most people of all things chicken related. I had all kinds of chicken and egg misconceptions. But, the only one I can think of right now is this dumb one:

I thought that all chickens laid brown eggs and that in their natural state, they were brown. I thought that white eggs were simply bleached eggs by the the egg industry to make the eggs look more pleasing and palatable to the consumer.

Don't feel too bad. I have heard the claim that chickens are force fed bleach to make the eggs white.

Lots of people lose interest in their chickens. I have had people that bought chickens in the spring want to bring them back in the winter....... Because they are tired of trying to figure out how to keep their water bowl from freezing.......

I live in SC. I moved here from WV. I am still waiting for "winter" to strike!

I have also had chicken buyers call me up and ask me if I clean chicken houses......... because they just don't have the "stomach to do it" themselves. I give them the number of a friend that uses the manure on his garden.

I want to watch when they change their first diaper.

Here are a couple you might enjoy:

I was talking with someone who wanted to know if mules grew up to be horses or donkeys.

A 25-year-old woman sees all the eggs I have on my kitchen counter. She looks at them and says: "So many eggs! Too bad you will have to throw them out"
Me: "Throw them all out? Why is that?"
Her: "Well, you only have a few chickens and their periods are once a month, so your eggs must be very old and not suitable for consumption."
Me: "

"

I take a deep breath and explain to her how chickens are different from humans. And I didn't resist telling my family the whole episode. We laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.


Sometimes I feel like not educating people b/c I'll run out of things to post once in a while

I'm struggling even to follow the logic of that conversation... did she think chickens have monthlies? How did she know when these supposed monthlies were anyway? Do they all go to the washroom at the same time ans snyc up? What?

Yes, she did. And she thought the hens dropped an egg once a month, when their period came. Since I had so many eggs, she thought they were many months old. That's what I gathered from her crazy logic. I don't get many weird things said to me about chickens, but when I do...

Priceless. Please tell me you told her how old grocery store eggs are.
