Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

[juliechick]

I promised a lady that I would find her some Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs to hatch. After I located some I saw her mother at church, so I asked her to tell her daughter that I had found some hatching eggs for her and I was having them shipped to me. She got a funny look on her face and said, "Well, ummm, don't they have to be kept warm? I mean, the hen has to sit on them right after she lays them, doesn't she?"

That was a new one on me.

I once was checking a chicken for mites by flipping it over on its back at the fair. A woman said to her daughter"Oh look, she is rocking it to sleep"

Now, that made me laugh out loud!!!!!

Hiliarious!​

My sister in law won't eat my farm raised eggs for the same reason! What is she thinking?

I hear weird things all of the time-

Owls will carry human babies off if they aren't completely covered up.

What kind of fish do beavers eat?

You have to have a rooster if you want eggs.

Deer make ponds (????)

And funniest of all- Angus meat comes from the cow's anus ...

You just reminded me of the funniest thing that someone has ever said to me. I can't believe I didn't think of it till now!
Back in highschool I went through a phase where I was testing my limits with various authority figures. (I was completely concious of it and was actually studying the reactions of the adults, much like a sociologist would. It all happened because I noticed them letting me get away with things others were frequently punished for)
On this particular occasion, I was blatantly violating the dress code by wearing a shirt entirely open up the back (A patterning error on my part, but I made it, so mistke or not I had to wear it once!) So as I was walking down the hall, some random preppy girl said something like 'I can't believe she's wearing that!' to her friend, who replied "Ssshhhhh! Don't say that so loud, she'll hear you! She's a WITCH and she will CURSE you!"
It was news to me! I had given up black a few years before, but I DID wear a royal purple velvet cloak to school on a regular basis. Apparently, this gives me the mystical power to curse stupid people. If only I had known that before!
One day, I will learn to invoke this gift and then idiots beware!

wow, i mean just wow.

just talking with my dad about my new incubator plans. i'm going to incubate a few eggs in a few days, but i have to construct a new incubator first.

so i was telling him about my plans for my extremely simple incubator and he says
dad: "Adam, we don't need anything complicated"
me: "Its not complicated, its extremely simple as far as incubatos go!"
dad: "why don't you put a blancket on them and call it good?"
me:

the scary thing is: i am always telling him about chickens, incubation, embyrology, brooding, etc.

i have told him about humidity and temperature in incubation numerous times! after he said that, i got up and left the room out of shock

i knew someday i was going to get a dumb question about chickens, but i never knew that question would come from my dad!

One day my cousin came over and i took her into the chicken coop knowin that one of my hens had just laid an egg. I handed the egg to her...
Q: Why is it warm?
A: What do you mean?
Q: Arent they suppose to be cold. Like the ones i get from the fridge?
A: No.....A chicken just laid it.
Q: What? Where did it come from? Their mouth?
A: No there butt!
Then she freaked out and droped my egg. LMAO! She was like im never eating a brown egg. Ill stick with the white ones. Oh my! She is 19!

Another man asked me one day, when I took my americauna out for a ride, "Wow! What a cool bird! What kind of owl is it. I have never seen a picture of one before? Is it a new breed?" I looked at him and just very slowly said. It is a chicken. He looked at me and said a what? Then he was like does your "owl chicken" have babies?

I said ya when i incubate them. He looked at me funny and then walked away. I mean really an "owl chicken"! Geeze!!!!!! LOL!

Sooooo..........white eggs come from the chicken's mouth?

I can just see that, because, although my sister acknowledges the egg's origin, she won't handle a warm one.

My BIL asked me if ham hocks were hawks that snatched up baby pigs. He was in his 20's when he asked me that.
