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

[Ilovemyduckies]

Standing outside a city-friend's home this evening talking about what we've been up to lately (and I'm practically choking on some ungodly wretched smell coming from the textile plant that is apparently dying fabric today) when I mention the 15 RIR chicks in my guest bathroom. "Doesn't your whole house smell like chicken poo?" she says. "Well, no." I say. "I clean the brooders regularly." She says, "I could never live with those nasty animals or that smell." I reply, a bit perturbed, "Really? As opposed to your whole TOWN smelling like poo everytime the mill is dying?" Thanks, but I'll take my country life and all my chickies to the ickyness of city life!

Trust me, no chicken poo could smell worse then the turkey farm we used to live by (I've always been perfectly fine with the chicks, but when they started slaughtering the turkeys, the smell was unbearable)

Ya know what is a super nasty smell that you would NEVER think about unless you were near one...? I have a cousin that lives in Florida just down the road from an orange juice factory. When they juice oranges, a day or two later, all you smell is rotten oranges for miles! It's disgusting!

My citiot grandparents and aunt stopped by the other day. And while they were talking I noticed a Speckled Sussex looking right through the glass door that goes to the "feed/dog room". (It is a very nice carpeted room with couches and a dog bed on one side, and chicken feed and supplies on the other. The dogs stay in there most of the time, because once we had a flea infestation, and we don't want that to ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever happen again. It has a door to our deck, and another glass door that looks into our living room.) They are absolutely terrified of chickens, everyone of them. So, I was just going to ignore her until they left. Well, as soon as she saw me giving her the "GO AWAY NOW" eye, she decided to start clucking and pecking the door. Everyone looked over there to see her giving me the stink eye. I walked in there to catch her, and to my surprise she didn't poop at all. I remembered that about a half hour ago, I had fed the chickens and dropped some food. She was pretty friendly, so I let her in to clean it up. I guess I just forgot about her. Then I got the:

Citiot 1:"Well, that's pretty weird to have a chicken in your house! How much did she poop?"
Citiot 2: "I'm sure that room stinks now"
Citiot 1 (thank you grandad for being mean to my chickens): "I can't imagine having chickens in your house"
Me: "Well, how would you know (to aunt)? I thought you couldn't smell, and isn't that why you can't tell that your house smells like cat s***. And you both live right next to a HOG FARM!"

They stopped after that.

When people come over and see for the first time that I have a golden Lab running loose in the backyard with the chickens, they always ask "Is it safe. You know since she is a bird dog and all?"
My reply to that is "sure the dog can usually out run the chickens and has a doggy dog to the back room of the house in case she is cornered".
With a "WHAT?!" look on their face I tell them to wait here and go to the house to get the chickens' favorite treat. Walk back outside, call them and then stand back.
And with a look of OMG now written on their face, they never question the safety of having my dog outside with the chickens. They do however now have a firm respect for wearing non-open toed shoes in my backyard too.

P.S. Binky is one of the sweeties dogs in the world and wouldn't hurt anyone or thing on purpose.

I was concerned at first with letting our chickens run loose in the back yard with our Springer Spaniel mix. Now they walk back and forth past each other all the time.
