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

[Brown Chicka Brown Cow]

ROFLMAO!!!! That's too funny and honestly for those who argue with the truth, probably the best route. You can't cure stupid so you should have as much fun with them as possible

..Omg...still laughing...

I have goats - and a note on the poop... They aren't actually eating it… but pinching them apart looking for whole seeds from the feed. Close investigation shows beak pinches in each nanny berries. I'm sure some is ingested. They will chug dog turds though.

My goat is tall and thinks is great how all the chickens run to inspect a poo. It makes her wag her tail every time.
HILARIOUS she gives the eggs away!

…chickens eat roaches and maggots too. I'd rather them eat poop.

My Mother is a Yankee. My Father grew up on a farm with an outhouse and a well. He tended chickens and cows. My Mom (bless her heart) strains her eggs every morning to filter out the "white stringy things" connected to the yolks. "It's the baby chickens brain", she says. I told her it's their belly button.

We like to tease my foo-foo Mom as she shuns the farm life. On FaceBook she asked about colored eggs. My Dad chimed in and said it had to do with air temp. Most eggs are white because those chickens are in a warehouse where they keep the temp at 75. Brown eggs are from chickens out on hot summer pasture. Then, I posted a photo of a dozen of my blue and green eggs and mentioned how cold it had been out. I told her I get grey ones when it is below zero.

For those who won't eat an egg because it comes from "out of there" I say,… "Do ya eat hamburgers? Well, cows come from there too…. without a shell."

So… I am one of those pushing farm fibs.
Those who aren't into it - never will be. So it's nice they carry a sign for me.
It's wonderful to know I am not alone in my non-frankenfood adventures.

Hahaha! When my farm boys went to college in St. Paul, they told their friends that their chores included walking the chickens and fluffing the goats.

You can tell your dad that there are factory farms doing brown eggs too. And they usually sell them for $1 more a dozen than the white ones.

Love it.

I guess walking them helps build better thigh and leg meat.

This made me snort my tea. I wish I had a goat just so I could moan about having to fluff it twice a day! Not sure people would believe me, though... I think Brits are a more cynical bunch. That could be down to the fact we eat poop-covered eggs. All store eggs over here are brown; white is a bit of a novelty and blue often gets a "ewww" and "does it taste like duck egg".

My neighbors have chickens in a very small permanent coop it just has a dirt floor. I was building my double decker chicken tractor when they decided to come over and check out what I was doing. I explained that I was making a chicken tractor so that I could move the chickens to fresh grass and forage everday. He responded with "why would you do that....chickens don't eat grass" I thought for a second ....ya....... your chickens don't eat grass BECAUSE THEY DON"T HAVE ANY!!!!!!

I've got the their tainted and how can you eat them and i'd rather eat store bought their cleaner but I just let them talk because there isn't anything better than taking a fresh warm egg inside and making a super fresh scrambled eggs.

My brother once dated an extreme city girl and that's saying alot where we live, we actually had her believing that cuckaber were actually baby pocupine egg it was a hoot she would believe anything

I have a friend that told me she could only eat my fresh eggs if they had been refrigerated. That way she could "pretend" they came from the store! I have another friend that won't eat them because they are fertile. It's their loss!

I have a vegan coworker who is not the aways the most critical thinker. Apparently she lived with some people who kept chickens in their laundry room. She insists that all chickens reek, and that the reason they are called "fowl" is because of their "foul" smell.

I've pointed out that cats and dogs have smelly feces and it is the job of responsible pet owner to maintain decent living conditions for their animals.

Every single time chickens come up in conversation, she mentions the vile stench. I swear she's driving me insane, and I'm going to tell her how I still hang out with humans even though their waste products stink.
