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

[7 Biddies]

Yes. Saint Foghorn of Leghorn. I say, I say the boy was amazin'. Achieved sainthood by terrorizing the little chicken hawk and protecting Miss Prissy.

Why, yay-yess. Such a nice boy.

Like so many of us, I've had my share of "do hens lay eggs without a rooster around" questions. I thought I had come up with the perfect explanation: comparing a hen's egg production to a human female's monthly ovulation "even without a man around." First time I used this explanation and it will be the last...the man I was talking to got this horrified expression on his face and said "are you trying to say that women make eggs? What do you do with them??" You don't know how badly I wanted to say that we cook them for breakfast. This guy was in his late 20s, early 30s. Dear lord, I hope he doesn't reproduce...

On the subject of human stupidity: My daughter lost all of her hearing from meningitis at age 3. She's grown now, brilliant, and reads lips like crazy. Can't tell you how many times people have asked her how deaf people have sex.

"As loudly as they want."

Their idea of sex must be: "HEY YA WANNA?"

Or, "Jump in the back of the truck".

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.

My brother actually got a puppy not too long ago, and affectionately named him Ranger. The night after my mother said: "Uh Jared.. That dog is a girl."

Honestly.. Some people!

gowing up in a mexican household when we would slaughter a calf we would usae anything that was edible including the head. friends wouuld ask ho could you eat the head, it is nasty, my brother would always say Do you eat rump roast? when they said yes he would tell them I would rather eat the head than I would the back end of a cow!!

That's what I'm worried they'll try to do.

I dunno though, they kinda seemed to think they'll just find a gallon of milk all ready to go in it's pen someday so I don't think they'll even try to "milk" it.

hehehehehehe...I hope they do...hehehehehehe
