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

[bigmrg74]

Once when I was not feeling very nice, someone said "I hope you at least kill the chickens where are their friends can't see it happen". I assured them I did, otherwise it was a pain in the butt trying to do it without the others milling around trying to steal the head and innards as snacks.

hahahaha!!!

Neighbor's kid: "Where's Topi?" (Our rooster)
Me: "He went to the freezer, since he was misbehaving."

Fast forward a couple months:

Kid: "So when is Topi coming out of the freezer? Hasn't he learned his lesson yet?"

That reminds me of that old joke about the foul mouth parrot.

I can't count how many people have asked, "don't you need a rooster to get eggs?" Do YOU need a "male" to produce YOUR eggs (women, of course)? No? You have eggs anyway? Your eggs just aren't fertilized? Same exact thing.

Yup have heard that one from people who want chickens.... Don't think they believed me.

How do you know which eggs are chickens and which eggs are eggs? (As in which are fertilized. Mom got asked that at work one day. When she told me I just stared. Its not a stupid question, but just the way he worded it got a giggle.)

I was in town purchasing more welded wire to reinforce my run this morning when I ran into a friend. I told her something had gotten through the fence and into the coop because i had forgotten to close up the pop door and taken half my hens and the rooster.

She said "Oh, no! And now you wont get any eggs at all."

Yes she thought i needed the rooster.

I was recently over at a friend's house and her beautiful serama boy was in the front yard strutting around proudly and puffing his chest up and out the way they do. (In my head I swear he was saying, "Look at me, I'm so pretty! I'm so pretty! I'm so pretty!" (Or honestly maybe what he was saying was, "Holy crap, I cannot see because my boobs are so big." XD))

She'd gone inside to get something and some people were walking their dog down the footpath. They must not have seen me on the porch - or if they did they just didn't care who heard them.

"Oh my god, look at that poor chicken. Breeding has gotten completely out of control! Look at what they've done to that poor chicken. He can barely walk! They should put him out of his misery."

They kept on their way. When she came back out and I told her what they'd said she was insisting on a description of the perpetrators so that she could figure out who they were and tell them off. XD

That's too funny!

You can just see it in their eyes.

I told my father in law I am keeping a rooster, his response "well I won't be eating the eggs then fertilized eggs are bad!" Lol, the man has been a farmer his whole life and they had laying hens when he was growing up :/

Later I was talking to my mother in law, I mentioned what FIL said when she asked what I will do with all the eggs.
Her "well will the rooster be in his own area?"
Me "umm, no. Fertilized eggs are no different than unfertilized eggs unless you incubate them."
Her "well won't you be surprised when you crack one open and find an embryo!"
Me "unless a hen sits on it or you incubate it, that's not possible, it doesn't just spontaneously happen"

And she used to be a teacher! They are wonderful people but there is no changing their minds when they have their minds set on something. Oh well, more eggs for me!
