Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

I have a very nosey neighbor, one who is "on the board" of the local HOA... You know the type. He has been somewhat excited(so he says) about my chickens. To keep him happy, I offered him some eggs. I took him two pretty blue eggs, and he says to me, "Can I cook these eggs?". haha

A college roommate from Cleveland expressed his astonishment at our Angus cows as the biggest Labrador
Retrivers he ever saw.
He was also set back somewhat at the end of lunch when my mother asked my roomie, my brothers and I how many T-bone steaks each of us wanted for supper. After the afternoon of work on the farm it didn't matter. He fell asleep at the supper table from exhaustion.

We found a robin's egg, completely whole, laying on the ground. My dad and I knew the embryo was probably dead by that point - it had apparently been down there for a while. My sister, though, wanted to try to hatch it. I flat-out stated that the only way we could "incubate" it was to put it in with the chickens, and they'd eat it. Her response? "Can't we just put one of my stuffed animals on top of it?"

She apparently didn't get the concept of IT NEEDS HEAT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T PRODUCE ITS OWN. In the end, it went in with the chickens.

By the next morning, it had "mysteriously vanished." However, the chickens looked unusually happy.

Okay so i was at Mcdonalds drivethrough buying water for my turkeys ( they were in a cage the back of my truck) and the Kid at the drivethrough window asked

" What kind of Chickens are those? When do they start laying? "

They were full grown 50 pound Broad breasted white toms. They had ablolutley no feathers on their heads and i have no idea how someone, even a person from the city, could mistake a full grown male turkey that was GOBBLING for a female chicken, that clucks, not gobbles. But i was laghing all the way to the fair. I told the kid

" these are Male turkeys, not female chickens, theres a distinction."

she was just like what? then she had to get her co-workers opinion on what species of birds were in the back of my truck, as if i didnt know. it was hilarious though. People also tend to think my full grown call ducks are babys and my pekins are geese. like at the fair, i was leaning against the wall and a dad and his 3 yo daughter came up and the man pointed to my pekin and said; ''hey look at the goose!" and i was like
"that aint no goose"
and he turned to me and i was like
" i didnt say anything"

But people are always sayin that my calls are babes even though there full grown

I am going to have a local 'kids that parents think need extra help' school hatch my chicken's eggs.

I'm taking white, red (RIR type), tan (tinted), pink (tinted), Marans, blue (EE type) - going to take some extra to open to show whats inside before we start...

Going to show um even if the shells are different they insides are all the same...

When I was a kid there was a small zoo that we would go to alot. It mostly had rescued ducks and geese and a few native wildlife. In the welcome center they had a stuffed turkey vulture hanging from the ceiling and it was labled as a "bald eagle"

Even I knew what a turkey vulture was as a kid!

Last Night I was talking to my SIL, who loves my eggs BTW. I was telling her I had a chicken that paid me a pretty blue egg. Her response was "Is the egg good or is it rotten?". I had to explain to her that it was the same as the brown eggs she loves so much.

Here's a good one....My friend had more eggs than she knew what to do with so she put a sign out by the road. After a while a gentleman stopped to buy some eggs. He looked in the carton and remarked that he noticed that there were free range eggs in there. She wondered how he knew which ones they were, so he explained that in fact it was easy they were the green ones!!! My friend tried to explain to him that in fact it was the breed of the chicken that layed the green eggs but he just didn't get it and insisted they were definately the free range ones!

Absolutely true. Everyone knows that if your free-rangers eat
to much green grass, they will lay green eggs. Every time.

Brown eggers? Eating too much raw dirt...
