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

[lazy gardener]

Can't say that I've ever had the privilege, but I can tell you that my grandson loves lady bugs. When he was just creeping, and starting to get around the house to explore, I heard him at the end of the hall. It got quiet for a bit, then I heard him smacking his lips and saying MMMM! MMMM! MMMUMMH! I went and investigated, found him very busily working something around in his mouth... pulled out little lady bug bits. Not much left except for the hard wing cover shells.

I'm told that I always done that. NOthing left but the wing covers. And then I got older then they started biting me. It was revenge of the ladybugs.

just heard this one today from my ma
me: hey ma your birthday is coming up isn't it?

ma: yeah what of it?

me: I'm going to make you a roast duck for your birthday (this is her fav dish I normally have to mail order the meat)

ma: oh that's nice I didn't know the grocery store carried duck

me: oh they don't and last time they did I couldn't afford it anyway

ma: wait so where are you going to buy it?

me: I'm not going to buy it. I have three extra drakes that I don't need

ma: what!? we can't eat those ducks!

me: why? they are free range and at the perfect age

ma: they live outside and they are dirty!

me: meat ducks live most of their lives standing in their own poo

ma: they are still dirty

That's as good as this one today:

Her: Why do you want chickens? They stink.

Me: No they don't....unkempt coops stink, the birds themselves don't.

Her: Well, if they are in a stinky coop then they must pick up some stink too.

<sigh> Sometimes the dumb stuff people say isn't so dumb after all.

I offered to bring a co-worker a few eggs from my hens, all of which lay dark brown, green, blue, or light brown. No white egg layers here. . I told her they would be of one or a combination of the colors my hens lay. She replied, I can only eat the white ones, the colored eggs taste funny and the green ones, well you know are spoiled and will make you sick! I tried explaining the reasoning for different colored eggs, and frankly she could not understand it...I politely ended the conversation. I've yet to figure out how she came to the conclusion colored eggs taste funny and the green ones would make her sick, She is sweet as can be, but a country girl she's not, and she lives 20 miles outside of the nearest town!

As I was checking out of our local Sprouts grocery store I had an interesting conversation with the checkout gal, a young thing with green hair, plenty of tattoos and more hardware in her ears than most people have in their toolbox.

Me: "Just curious: Do you carry fertile eggs?"

She: "Fertile? You mean with like baby chicks inside?"

Me: "No. They're just fertilized. No chicks."

She: "Fertile? I've never heard of such a thing. Do you eat the baby chicks?"

Me: "No."

She: "Do you hatch them?"

Me: "Yes, on occasion."

She: "Really? I've never heard of fertile eggs before. Why do people eat them?"

Me: "Some folks think they're a little more nutritious due to the added whatever."

And then she started to freak out a little, so what followed, to the amusement of the lady behind me in line, was an explanation on how to tell fertile v. nonfertile eggs and that it's just the shape of the dot..

She: "Fertile eggs. Learn something new every day."

I never did find out. Guess I'll have to check if they have them the next time I'm in.
