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

[cheeka]

If you can read this,
You are in Range.

My favorite sign is "never mind the dog, beware the owner"

 

[amorrill]

Yeah, and we have Pygmies too. One of them really likes to rub up against people's legs. Even the grumpy UPS guy thinks it's cute when I have to chase the "baby" out from under the truck, but they thought it was horrible. Goats are the spawn of Satan, I guess....At least mine are....

To be fair, goats do look like evil incarnate. I love them, but those eyes!

It works, I swear! We have that exact sign and the Jehovah's don't even visit us anymore. Amazing how many people would come through a closed gate before we got the sign.

you should have taken Jeff Foxworthy's advice and tell them you're sorry but you didn't see the accident and shut the door in their faces (get it Jehovah's Witnesses......lol that always cracks me up)

Yep, I wanted to change my Max's name to Satan, but my mom said some people (grandma) might take offense. One of my best friends is a Jehova's though and he thinks they're cool though....

"did you know the average lifespan of a chicken hen is 6 months?"


Clearly thy die before they really lay eggs... *facepalm*

 

[MsBagawkbagawk]

Wow, if they owned chickens they must not be having too much luck. Tell them that the average lifespan of dumb people is (insert person's age).

[clip] "Look! That lady has an ostrich!"

Just for the record, my dad would have said something exactly like that... to mess with our heads. In fact, he would probably do the same TODAY. (I am 45, sister just a tad younger,). And he would say it with a total pokerface (p-p-p-p-p-pokerface...) and sincere (LIAR!) expression. Depending on our age/gullibility level that day, my sister or I may very well have believed it for weeks.

Same dad regularly would start silly-walking (ala' John Cleese) in the supermarket if someone I knew from school was in view, while grunting "I am (Clumber)'s Dad! ". Actually, the only thing that prevents him from still doing this is about half of the continent, but that's not my fault. He's the one who ran out of mountains to climb in Washington.

Another typical "mess with daughters' brains!" tactic : Lycra bike shorts. Need I say more? Of course not. No one wants that.

So depending on the Dad in question, he could have been just trying to mess with his kid, or his kid's friends. Or even the teacher. I might prefer to beleive that, just to keep me from warping my desktop from all the head-slamming at stupid....

Lol at this thread!

I have heard that chickens stink from so many people that I have started just freaking out completely when people say it to me! My chickens smell just lovely, especially when they have been sunning themselves in the hay bale! The ONLY time they smell less than perfect is the day or two after I spray for mites and ticks. That stuff is nasty! But they dust and preen until they are delish again!
