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

[roseyred]

My friend bought a dozen from me saying how her daughter was into the "organic" style and while my eggs are organic I'm not really selling them claiming such. Well her daughter wouldn't even eat the eggs because the shells weren't white............ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Do you wanna see the bum the egg came from? It's fresh as can be. Right from the pooper. Lol an my mom found out that chickens only have one exit..she decided store bought eggs were cleaner. Smdh

okay more blue and green and brown poop eggs for me.

Once you taste a fresh egg for real, you know that eggs in the store are NOT right.

Also, those poor chickens with their beaks cut off and crammed into cages. Heck yes I go through all this just for eggs. Just to be one less person buying eggs from a grocery store and contributing to the mistreatment of animals. It's the same reason I buy my meat from locak butchers at the marked up price, and I grow as much produce as I can, and buy the rest from farmers markets.

Some people just don't care where their meat/eggs/produce comes from, but more and more people are starting to.

I feel like this is all summed up with "I don't do it for the eggs, I do it for the chickens. Bockbacock"

And, I don't get how anyone can eat corporately produced food, knowing it contains chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and GMOs. Quality, that's why. One man's pleasure is another man's poison. Fortunately, he's not required (nor was he asked) to "get it".

I don't get how people manage to grow so much non-gmo no-pesticide food. I almost bought some pesticides for my few plants when bugs and fungus were destroying them. Maybe I'm just a bad farmer.

Cabbage. Cabbage grows easy and well here. The brussels sprouts do very good, too. I have good luck with peas and squash as well. Composted chicken litter and coffee grounds in the garden and nothing else. I grow grapes in pots against the south side of the house and get grapes each year. Those just need right type and a very sunny warm place.

Some things just don't do well in our cool weather with the very wet spring. I've given up on tomatoes. I get late blight every year and they just don't ripen. Just grow what will grow well here and no frustration.

You can get good organic stuff to kill bugs and fungi, such as insecticidal soap and Serenade disease control, which are non-toxic and can be applied the day of harvesting. Try a website called Gardens Alive for all kinds of goodies, including lady bugs to kill aphids and preying mantis eggs. I use milky spore to kill grubs in my yard which, in turn, drives away the moles, and prevents them from hatching into Japanese beetles. My neighbors aren't happy because all the moles went to their yard, and I no longer have the beetles eating everything in sight.

There's also companion planting to deter bugs and other stuff you can use like vinegar or urine or salt. Just gotta do some research and trial and error

Research polyculture.... Very helpful method

Here is the ayam cemani chick I refer to as food face

covered in ff. It always seems one chick in every batch I have will always be coated in ff.

I have a white leghorn that I call dirty bird that's the same way. Nugget is my other bird covered in ff and well, Phyllis my polish always has ff on her crest. It has nothing to do with stupid things people say, but it is cute. No?

I made an FF feeder wonder if it would cut down on the dirty chicks.... You'd have to make a mini version though.
