OK, I think I have officially heard it all.

There is an older gentleman, that used to work with my DH. ( the gentleman retired not too long ago) So, I get a call from him. Here is how that call went.

ME: Hello?
HIM: Hey Deb, this is Joe, I worked with Sam.
ME: Oh yes, Hi Joe, how ya been?
HIM: Oh, not too bad..getting restless.
ME: retired life not what ya thought hu?
HIM: Na, I think I might get another job, just to keep busy.
ME: so, whats up Joe?
HIM: Well...I was wondering, do you have any extra Hen Berries?
LONG PAUSE.....my mind is blank...
HIM: " he laughs" Eggs???
ME: " I laughed" Ohhhh, you want eggs?

Well, I've heard of dingleberries and rabbit pills, but never hen berries...

My dad called them cackle berries

I think you have to be old like me to have heard these terms for eggs.

Send him some poop!

 

[Yogiman]

2dream types faster than I do but it's cackle berries here as well. AKA "Hen Bullets" would you believe?

 

[BrahmaMama]

I've heard of cackleberries too, but personally just call them eggs

I was trying to explain to my 6 and 4 year old what cackleberries were though

Cackleberries is a common term for eggs where I come from and to go with them you have cat heads (biscuits). The cackleberries I can understand, not sure I get the cat heads part.

The old folks told me "it's cause they were big as a cat's head" go figure.

When my neices were little, 30 years ago I sent some of my eggs home with them in a carton that had Cackleberries printed on it.....after that they insisted to their mom that Aunt Katy's chicken laid cackleberries not eggs!
