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

Pretty eggs. What is the one on the far left, and what color would you call it?

That's from my Black Australorp, Bertha. She lays a pretty good sized medium to dark brown egg ... kind of a light mahogany color. Very pretty.

Bet it's a double yoked…let us know when you crack it.

Most definitely will do!!

But Biddies, if they come to you they are harder to get rid of. I like to have an excuse to leave, as in "Whoops, look at the time. I have to get home to take care of the animals." It's important to have a good exit strategy.

When they come for the visit and refuse to leave, inform them that it is feeding time and put the feed on the floor and let the chickens in. I'm sure when they get a hen or two in their lap looking for treats they'll conveniently remember something that they have to do at home.

That's a good one!

I figured out the expectation part a while back, which is why I've chosen to avoid any more personal relationships. Expectations are a given in them; both mine and theirs. No thanks.

Your FIL sounds like my mother. When I finally got up to 125 - 130 lbs, she would look at me and say, "You're fat! My daughter's FAT!" (Notice how calling me "my daughter" indicates that it reflected negatively on her?)

I guess that's why judgmental people aren't happy; they're insecure about their own beliefs and choice of lifestyle, so are looking for approval or validation from others. Consequently, they sit in judgment of the "uncool ones" to distance themselves from them (us). How could you be happy living like that; always worried what other people think of you? Like you, I don't give a rip about what anybody else thinks. Love me as I am or get lost.

Exactly.

I choose freedom from judgment and my favorite quote ( can't remember who said it) is "What other people think of me is none of my business." , I love that because it's true.

Hahaha! Yes!

I'd use that one if anyone ever refused to leave my home.

I also have an ace in the hole with, 'Oh, do I have chicken poop on my shoulder? Oh, well, it will fall off eventually, let's make dinner!". Lol!

Isn't that like a celibate nun taking a pregnancy test every month? People are so weird.

That's why I specified a "celibate nun". Didn't want to assume too much ,,, in error.

Holy Mackerel!!

Just came back from feeding the girls and collecting eggs. Look what I got!



The one is TWICE the size of the others, like finding 7 eggs instead of 6; biggest I’ve ever seen. Green, too. Looks like a flippin’ emu egg. Wonder if it’s a double yolker? 7

Wow! Those are some gorgeous eggs. The huge one is especially awesome!

ETA - Did I really use the word *especially*? Lol!

Thankew! My girls lay some pretty good sized eggs. I'm very proud of them.
