I had gone to eat at the Waffle House one day. The girl was taking my order and I told her I wanted four eggs over easy, as she walked off I said" hey can you make those eggs rooster eggs", she said sure. Well she stood on her line and started hollering out my order and then she said "FOUR ROOSTER EGGS OVER EASY" everyone in the store turned around and looked at her like she was crazy...I fell in the floor laughing so hard......

SCORE ONE for the COUNTRY FOLKS......

Just curious, but how would they know that your deviled eggs hadn't come from the store...

Hmmm what would Sneaky do...
Sneaky would go ask one of your neighbors(not attending the picnic) for a carton... if an 18 carton...
Then Sneaky would make 18 (9 eggs) Home Grown Deviled Eggs and plate them up.
Then Sneaky would leave the other 9 eggs in their shells and put them in the carton so those who don't like spice can have Angel Eggs.

If they ASSume that the deviled eggs came from those 9 empty slots...
And if they ASSume the 9 shelled were put there by a factory machine...

Well... I was told it's rude to correct people.

Several months ago I was talking to someone I've known casually for several years and mentioned that I was getting chickens. She proceeded to tell me she knew all about the farm life because she had been raised on one with sheep, goats, cows, chickens etc.

She then asked me how many roosters we were going to get. I told her none. She was dumbfounded. "How are you supposed to get any eggs then?"

I explained, and she was totally gobsmacked.


Several years ago I was reading a blog. The young lady who wrote this particular one was from somewhere in CA. She wrote about going east to visit some folks and they were sitting outside in the evening enjoying the cool air - when suddenly - flashing green lights appeared all around them. She was terrified.

She was terrified of lightening bugs!! She had never seen any before.

These arent mine but there is a feed/bait store that I go to sometimes and the guy has told me that since he sells ice in a bag, like they do at gas stations, that people have walked in and asked where he keeps the baby penguins becuz on the sign it has a penguin

, and one of the more recent ones was that a man walked into his store and was lookin to buy a rabbit. Well apparently this man asked when rabbits start to lay eggs

.

They have some one in the government that checks on the hens laying the eggs and says yes those eggs are okay for eating. Now my grandma raised these kids on a farm she used the eggs her hens laid to feed them then used the hen for Sunday dinner. So I really don't understand my family sometimes. lol. I did take my eggs to the family picnic because I refuse to buy eggs, told the family why because of the way the hens are treated and they looked at me like I had 2 heads and said that no one would really raise chickens that way, the government would say something. I just keep quite and do my thing. Sometimes I think my family got dropped on their heads one to many times, either that or they forgot what the farm life was like.

I have a painting of a white silkie that a friend of BF's did for me. Well we were happy to finally get it in the mail and showing it off, and one response we got was:
'What is that thing?'
'That's a chicken.'
'No it isn't.'
'Yeah, it's called a silkie bantam, they're cute.'
'That is not a chicken.'
'Yep, it is. We're gonna get a few chicks that will grow up to look like this. We're gonna get a few that lay blue and green eggs too.'
'Okay, whatever. Have fun with your imaginary chickens.'

I plan on inviting her over when the chicks grow up to show her they aren't imaginary!

"So, how's Fred getting along?"
Mom meant my hen,Florence. She was mistaking it for a rooster.
"It's Florence, a girl. What makes you think it's a rooster?"
"Because it pecks!"

"It's not a chicken, it's a rooster!"

A friend once asked me what a rooster was. Um, I knew that when I was two.

A friend of ours, Mrs. Joyce, has chickens and took in our chicks last year. This year I found out they had no roosters left. I was devestated over the loss of my beloved Pip, but my mom said "Oh, now they can't get eggs." This from my MOTHER.

THOSE are the funniest things a city slicker has said to me.

My niece was in a car, travelling behind a full cotton trailer. She commented, "Oh my gosh, how many sheep did they have to kill to get all that wool?" She was about 16 at the time.

A few weeks ago DH & I went to a garage sale in the city. We were looking at a medium sized dog kennel and thinking about getting it to transport chickens. The following conversation took place between me and the lady having the sale.

Her: "What kind of dog do you have?"
Me: "Two labs."
Her: "I don't think that kennel will be big enough for a lab."
Me: "It's not for the dogs, it's for our chickens."
Her: "Oh. Your chickens lay brown eggs, right?"
Me: "We have a variety of chickens that lay brown, white and green eggs."
Long pause.
Her: "Green?"
Me: "Yep!"
Her: "You're joking, right?"
Me: "No. They're called Easter Eggers, and they lay green eggs. Some lay blue eggs, but none of mine do."
Dumbfounded stare by the lady.

We walked away with our new kennel trying very hard to hold our laughter until we were out of earshot.

DH: "You love doing that, don't you?"
Me: "You know it!"
