Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

So is pigeon and quail

gut and skin them.. stuff with a jalapeno pepper and some cream cheese.. rub with a good seasoning blend and wrap in bacon.. toss on the grill until done... 

That filling sounds delicious....don't tell my quail!

I got my quail mostly for their eggs. I have a mild form of psoriasis, but it's on my face. It's the suckiest place for a girl to have a skin condition. -_-,

The males, however, will be used for breeding. Not sure when Dad and I will be building an incubator, but hopefully we can do it soon. I'd like to get the ball rolling. That way, I can utilize the extra males (not intended for breeding) for meat. That'd be pretty cool.

My wife has to say some of the silliest things, now mind you she was born and raised in NJ while I was born and raised in Va.

First thing was one morning I seen a wild turkey roosting in a tree behind the house, so I call my wife and son out to look at it. She looks at me and tries to inform me that Turkeys can't fly. I look at her and simply say well how do they get up there, climb?

when I brought home some farm fresh eggs in every color I cracked a couple open and one yoke was brighter orange, she honestly looked at me and said that one is bad.


And there is pleanty more lol

lol.. even excess silkies are fair game here...


btw.. silkies are quite popular in the Asian grocery stores.. the little market near us was selling them for over $ 12. a pound a few weeks ago!...

The price of silkies has nothing to do with taste/size. Silkies are believed to have medicinal properties, which is why they are so sought-after.

I never said it did.... I was just commenting on the price (which is only high here because of their popularity)...



people on here seem to think it's strange to eat a small bird... yet many cultures find nothing strange about it... the person I quoted (CGinJCMO) stated that they thought that their bantams were to small to eat.. but apparently not everyone thinks the same thing... my grandparents would eat the pigeons they raised.. as well as any birds the boys shot while out in the fields .. my grandfather would laugh at the fancy restaurants which served "squab" (young pigeons) saying that they were "poor mans food"... and I have known people who would literally "eat crow" ...

by the way.. WE (my husband and our family) don't think silkies have medicinal value.. just another bird who will eventually end up in freezer camp...

I hatch and sell large fowl and silkies and I can tell you ,the reason silkies are so popular with city folk is they are more of a designer bird. Nice and small , lay eggs , don't take up too much room and they are great for kids. In china they believe that Bengal tigers testicles ground up in powder form will somehow help your virility . When Marco Polo first saw a silkie he thought it was a bird with fur. So it not surprising that silkies are still sparking people's imagination. I love my silkies. And yes they are quite different to my other breeds.
