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

[oldrooster]

Certain relatives of mine (who shall remain anonymous!) were first shocked to see me feeding the chickens veggies, "I didn't know they could eat vegetables!".
A few weeks later the same people were shocked to discover that chickens could also eat meat.......exactly what did they think chickens could eat?

Air?????

Sounds like my mother, who once called to tell me my nephew "just got his 3rd IUD".

As a male I have one question, and may not want to know the answer, but where would they install that thing on/in him???????

my Mom is quite brilliant and wonderful... and doesn't often do or say off beat things that make me shake my head... but a few years ago, within a few hours of having knee replacement surgery, she had a massive stroke... very scary, bc she couldn't have that miracle stroke stopping drug bc of the surgery...
she's completely recovered, thankfully, the only remaining issue is one half of her lower lip is paralyzed, so she has a speech impediment, difficult to say "R" and "B". my dogs name is Ruby Begonia de Blueberry. Her speech therapist asked her at every appointment, "how is your daughters dog? what's her name again?" now... according to my Mom, my dogs name is "Shut Up".

she thinks it's cool that I have chickens and she loves seeing pictures. I wish we lived closer...

The only answer I can come up with is ... well, just imagine a very uncomfortable catheter; which is why I asked if it didn't hurt my nephew.

For Enquiring minds.

She has a GREAT sense of humor. Cool lady.

My dad and his sister did, too; kept me in stitches. I miss them. My golfer father (7 handicap) loved to point out that golf spelled backwards was, "Flog". So, that's what he called the game. "I'm going to go play flog."

Someone said almost the same thing about a salad I made with tomatos and lettuce from my own garden. ?? People!?

- Did she mean DUI? LOL

Oh my mom once called her friend's place who was throwing a pot luck and said she was bringing Hors d'oeuvre (only pronounced it Hores De Voors).

She is still not living that one down and that was 10 years ago.

She also said she was getting a Horse Shoe. (instead of a Charlie Horse).

LOL! My mother used to pronounce it "Horse Doovers" just as a joke. She'd giggle and say they wanted her to bring Horse Doovers. I guess she heard someone say that once. She was from Tennessee, in the 1920's.

My sister is somehow convinced that fresh eggs won't keep as long as store bought eggs because they start out so warm when they come out of the hen. I tried to explain to her that the store bought eggs were just as warm however many months ago they came out of the hen, but she just can't wrap her head around it. She won't eat a fresh egg if it is more than a week old but she'll eat store bought eggs that are who knows how old...I don't get it.

Robinwiththechickens... I know she doesn't get it... but next time y'all go shopping... point out the date on the egg carton, and compare it to today's date... if she can see that the eggs at the store will still be good for another month... then the next thing she needs to realize is how long they sat before they got to the store shelf... if that doesn't convince her... then oh well!... all the more for you!
