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

[cluck-cluck]

Yah, but that's just symantecs, it's so much more amazing when people are truly confused, LOL

I was one of those people. When i was a kid, I knew hens could lay eggs without a rooster. I knew frogs, oysters, and many other amphibious animals fertilized eggs after they were laid. So I figured that Roosters and all egg laying animals must fertilize eggs after they were laid. I just couldn't figure out how???

So I can forgive those kinds of mistakes, what I can't "forgive" is true stupidity like "ewwww, how can you eat those when they come out of your chicken's butt?" while eating fried eggs at Denny's,

I was showing a picture of my NNEE pullet to the new girl at work last week.

Her "what'd you do that for"?
Me "do what??"
Her "shave its neck"

This morning i had a pair of Seramas with me ouit in the garden by the sidewalk. A couple of teenage girls that i know walk by and see my little chickens. Katie(one of the girls) goes, "OMG! that little rooster looks like a stud muffin!" and the other girl, Mavis, says, "Those arent chickens, they look like puppies. Say what? How does a cute serama roo look like a dog??? Just had to share! **Excuse any errors i may have made, My mom is making me type without looking at the key board**

Gomes... i noticed a while back you asked to be called by another name, but i've forgotten ~ Lucas? ~ anyway, good job, only a few hardly noticeable typos!!! at least back when I was a kid, you couldn't graduate from high school if you couldn't pass a typing class... and we had machines (type writers, not computers...

) with blank keyboards.

ask them if they would like fried brains or tongue sandwiches....

OK, I have to reply to this, even though it's not about chickens. (And I too have heard most of the kooky comments heard by others about Green Eggs, Roosters, etc. You just have to laugh!)

This one is about GOATS, and I hear it ALL THE TIME!

Me: "We have two boy goats." (They're fixed/castrated/wethers and are completely pets.)

Them: "Cool!" Do you make Goat Cheese? Do you milk them and everything?"

Me: "Well... they're MALES."

Them: "Yeah, so don't you milk them? Don't you wanna make cheese and yogurt and all that?"

Me: " Well I suppose YOU could try and milk them. They might even like it"

(Sorry if this is too explicit for the faint-hearted, but I figure we're dealing with Roosters, so a crude goat joke might get a good reaction.)

In all fairness, I think we're seeing quite a few people wlth auditory processing problems: They hear the words, but don't process the information. It's like when I'm testing kids' auditory processing and reasoning skills, and ask who's buried in Washington's tomb, and they answer "Lincoln". Or, "What people built the Great Wall of China?" and they give me a blank look because they don't hear the answer in the question. It can be puzzling when you run across it, but it makes for some interesting stories.

I have one about goats too........

I used to show pygmy doe, Mitsy. Well, I was always the only one at the fair with goats. I would usually bring my wether , Max to keep her company. Both of them have glorious beards, but Max is naturally hornless and Mitsy has big horns. People CONSTANTLY told me I was very confused and had bucks. I asked them how they know that. " Duh, because bucks have horns and beards and girls (ummm, do ya know the proper term?)make milk.". First off, any goat can have a beard and horns, and ssecondly does don't just start randomly needing milked, they have to be bred first. Ya know how you tell their gender? Look at their back ends. That was when the lightbulb goes off over their head.

Oh, here's a pic of Mitsy's glorious beard:
