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

[Minchi]

I miss mine. No cookies, cakes, or brownies! All we have is a Microwaver, Fry Daddy, Grill, Hot plates, and another type of fryer. I bought a muffin mix, and I want to make some from scratch. But no oven!

On topic, we know someone, who won't eat fresh eggs. Because they are afraid of Double Yolkers. :/

You might consider making muffin/cookie/brownie/cake drops in the fryer??? I would.

Ohh I love double yorkers but I haven't seen one since I was a kid. Stupid store bought eggs and there light and air discarding technique that gets rid of the best eggs ever!

If the ovens down maybe buy a toaster oven for a few cup cakes at a time or brownies

I am getting chickens, and my grandmother keeps saying. "I can't believe you want chickens! They are nasty, disgusting, smelly, gross, loud, etc..."
me-"Grandma, I can make money selling the eggs, they are beautiful, I'll only have hens, and I'll keep them clean!"
her-"I don't care, I don't like that you are getting them."

My grandma was excited when I got chickens. She came over my house and even picked her favorite! A lot of people think they are cute, but some of my friends are afraid to hold them. They say things like, "it might poop on me!" (which they might ) and things like "its claws will scratch me!"
Some people...

I had some of my husbands family over this weekend and they all went out to see the girls. They asked lots of questions but the one question I was like "duh" about was "so what sure you going to do with the eggs, eat them?". I was like "duh, yes". Really, people come on.

No I am going to throw the eggs at politicians it is an election year, there's houses people and cars at Halloween. If you are afraid of being scratched then watch out for being bit then you have to pull their teeth out just to get your hand out.....

My neighbor's adult daughter said, "I don't trust anything natural". huh?

It's nice to know there's a market for Round-Up Ready corn; it's one way to clean out the gene pool.


A woman asked me "Can you eat blue eggs? I only eat white eggs. I ate a brown egg once, and I didn't like the way it tasted." <mumble, mutter, idiot, mutter, mumble>

My favorite stupid thing is:
Why don't I bleach my brown eggs so that they are white like the ones in the store.

My friends keep asking why on Earth I would want chickens, and my friend keeps asking me if I'm going to eat them. No matter what I tell them, they still don't understand why I would want these animals. They just don't get it!

Tell them that the aliens that abducted you told you to do it. Maybe that'll satisfy them.

You guys have have it SO EASY. Let me explain. We move to the 'country', 3000 miles away from our former home to embark on our huge lifestyle change. We find something that is roughly 20 miles round trip to the post office. We set up camp on our Fabulous Five acres and start aquiring livestock. Less than 3 weeks into it, Nosie Nellie sports her Hoveround, Lark (whatever) down our drive. SO IT BEGINS. These are exact quotes. "Where's your rooster? If you're gonna have hens, you have to have a rooster." No, to have chicks I need a rooster. "You cannot possibly free-range those chickens!" WHY? "You'll lose some." "Do you know how to candle an egg?" WHY? "If you EAT an egg with a blood spot, you can get VERY sick." WHAT? "You have to feed chickens grains. They'll starve if you don't. They won't survive." HA! "Your chickens are screwy. They range too far. You need to pen them." ??? "If you don't feed them layer mash, they won't lay." chickens... So, the entire garden that I prepared for the chickens doomed them to death? It is a new growing season. I would love to tell this woman to......eff off. How do I bring this well-meaning so-and-so to heel? She takes my eggs readily enough. "Oh, your Americana eggs are so sweet. Please, no duck eggs, they disgust me." She has even informed my husband that he knows nothing about horses (we have 5) and called animal enforcement on some unsheared sheep at a neighbors. Any advice would be....advantageous. Does anyone else have it this bad? AND....If you you do, in which section should I post this?
