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

"You're eating a cute baby chick!"

I've told this story before in Random Ramblings, but the worst thing anyone has ever asked me about my chickens (after seeing the way I dress when at home and not doing anything pertaining to work or finding work.) was this one guy that came to my house to buy chicks from me. He asked if I sacrificed my chickens to Satan.

In turn I replied "No, I set my rooster on a pedestal, put a feathered cape on him, and bow down to the mighty creature that is my rooster." He thought I was serious until I started laughing and he joined right in. He figured that he deserved it for asking a stupid question judging by my appearance. I know I look weird with my piercings and chain covered pants, but come on. I'm not evil. I just love raising chickens.

Speaking of which, I promised everyone on that thread that I'd make the cape, but I never got around to it.

Not about chickens but:

My good friend's mom really really wants to grow everything for themselves, raising their own meat, etc. Well, guess where their chickens are? At my house because they kept forgetting to feed them! So, they thought maybe a milk cow would be easier. So they got a Black Angus bucket calf from her step-dad's cousin. So, my friend was proudly showing me her "cow". I then informed her that it was a bull calf. She says, "Oh, so that's why we haven't gotten any milk!" Umm, I hope you didn't try to milk it, because not only is it a bull, but it is also only a few weeks old.. Her mom didn't believe me though, and they kept it. She also refused to castrate it. How to you not realize, from the moment you caught it in the pasture that it was a bull?!?!? It's really not that hard to figure it out!!!!! So, they're still waiting for fresh milk.

Typical American :i sorry we americans dont know the difference between a bomb and a cat.


So, what youre saying is... no milk?

come on, man. You're American and sharing with other Americans that do know the difference.
Stupid comes in every color and nationality there is.

A line from a new horror movie (horror because it's all of us at one time or another) I SEE AND HEAR STUPID PEOPLE TALKING....

I collect chicken and duck eggs and I had two "silly" Reactions.

Every other Sunday when we have a brekfast potluck at our church, I naturally bring an egg dish. I will sometimes use duck eggs, sometimes I use chicken eggs, and I have even used both in one dish. When one of the ladies found out I had ducks she said, "I hope your not using your duck eggs in those egg dishes of yours. Duck eggs can be poisonous you know."
My jaw dropped right infront of her and I couldn't even hide my reaction.

The other thing I found was amussing is that people swore I was using duck eggs when I really had used chicken eggs and then vice versa. I even live in a small town farming community but they are so "unaware" to what life really has going on.

Oh silly people.

I'd like to say "at least they're trying" but when you think about it, some people probably shouldn't try, it'll get them hurt!

I wouldn't want to be there when they try to milk him! Besides, a cow needs to birth a calf before she starts lactating.... Gosh, you know her step dad's cousin is laughing his head off

Well, her step dad's cousin isn't really the brightest either......he has a (homemade) bumper sticker on his pick-up that says "I shoot preadiatiors". He was very convinced that was the correct spelling of predator......

Their chicken endeavor was sad. They had no idea how to feed them, so they they were feeding them *whole* corn and were going to butcher their 6 month old hens because they weren't laying yet. I ended up taking them home.....

I've got a silly question-- are duck eggs like chicken eggs? I mean do the females lay eggs without male intervention?
