And BTW, my gosh, your job. What a great dinner companion you would be to most of us BYC horse lovers (and I use that term loosely...).

Had a guy ask what I was doing with so many different kinds of chickens. (silkies) I told him I was going to show them. He wanted to know what I dressed them in for a show?

Guess he thought it was like a pet parade or something!
Also my MIL didn't know you didn't have to have a rooster to get eggs and she was raised on a farm and her chore as a child was taking care of the chickens!!

I also love getting new Fed EX people when shipping semen. (Horse semen). There's something about city boys and the idea of being anywhere near the semen of another creature that really gets to them.

Funny you mention that one as DH and I were jabbering about the Someday Farm... brought up by DD randomly saying "I want to live on a farm"... ANYWHO, I was telling him that to have milk year round you'd need 2 cows, bred a bit apart... six months of double milk and six months of single... well anyways I was telling him it might be easier to just order sperm than to keep a bull on the property... I'm not exactly comfortable with 3000 pounds of testosterone laden animal giving me the eye... and like y'all said... he just got this LOOK... I think he'd actually rather have to wrangle (and feed and clean up after) a bull than even have to hand me a container of semen. Not that I've ever done that, or am particularly looking forward to trying, but the look on his face... and this was just a hypothetical conversation... boy it'd be worth the icky hand just to see him turn green.​

I'm not sure I'll ever stop laughing at ' "There must be some kind of farming that's not too labor-intensive." I just about spit coffee out my nose!' -- I have a city raised friend who is convinced that farming is a goldmine. He wants chickens and goats and maybe a beef cow or two. He thinks that I'm just being contrary when I tell him he can't keep them on a farm 50 miles away and check on them every other weekend.

I have had a lot of the same questions you guys have all reported...

Chickens have earlobes?
Chickens have ears?
Do the small eggs taste the same as the big eggs?
There are different breeds of chickens?
How come your eggs are brown and the ones at the store are white?

My grandpa won't eat the blue or green eggs cause they are "poison".

I have read this thread from beginning to end... there are so many FUNNY stories on here!

Ask them who they think checks the eggs and what they check them for. And then tell us. I really wanna know.

I'd have to ask them who the "right" people were!
