I'm not sure if I'da laughed, then tried to help her...
...or stare at her, mouth agape, dumbfounded, and stuttered over "b-b-b-ackyardchickens.com can...help...you....I hope.".

Depends on what mood she caught me in.

I would laugh because whenever I see something or hear of something like this it is something that either me, or my kids have done. My wife doesn't get into the critters, so its on us. I've been doing it a long time, and feathered friends have been a hobby for the last 10 years or so, and I learned the hard way too

I'm sorry I didn't clarify why i would have laughed, but it is sort of funny. To this day my dad still thinks that store bought eggs are bleached brown eggs

My SO just got back from the local country store. He got to talking with what we now know must have been one of them there city slicker fellas turning country. Anyway the man was directed to my SO with his chicken question by the store owner.

The man said he found where he could get some straight run chicks for .50 a peice. What he wanted to know was what kind of chicken a straight run chick was.

O.K. my SO did laugh out loud at this fella and my SO who has never been on the internet directed him to BYC after he explained what straight run meant.

I was working in a chicken processing plant .....

A co-worker (female) kept looking at the backs of the chicken carcasses as they went by us. Finally she said "All of these chickens must be roosters." I asked "Why ?" She said, "I don't see any with holes in their backs. " I said "what?" "Why would they have holes in their backs?"

She said "Everybody knows roosters jump on the hens back to breed them. There has to be a hole somewhere"

I said "no, they don't breed hens through their backs !"

She didn't believe me. She also didn't know the egg comes out the same 'hole' as the poop ! When I explained about the egg, she actually gagged.

I'm pure suburban (although we are an Aggie town), but even I was surprised when not one, but 2 coworkers asked me if you had to have a rooster to get eggs from a hen!

my brother in law simmered some eggs on his stove that I gave him for 7 days till the pot went dry and the eggs got to hot, when he was telling me I couldnt believe it I told him if he wanted to hatch some I would do it for him or let him use my bator!
