I can't wait to tell these people that my Buckeye hens eat mice.

 

[FarmerDenise]

Or lizards or frogs or small snakes, what about those worms

 

[debilorrah]

Oh you gave me fabulous idea!!! I am going to tell people green eggs come from them eating grasshoppers.

You could also that the dark eggs come from eating crickets.

 

[Preservation Acres]

lol...and frogs and green lizards.

 

[Preservation Acres]

Dark eggs definitely come from eating mice and roaches.

I've laughed my way through this whole thread, it's hilarious!!! I've run into the whole rooster issue in the past, it's impossible to change these people's minds, don't try, just laugh and move on.

My mother used to tell a joke about 2 women in a grocery store check out line, one sees that the other has beef tongue in her cart and says "I can't believe you eat someting that comes out of a cow's mouth!" and the first replies, "Well, why not? You eat eggs don't you? They come out of a chicken's butt!" (hope that isn't too rude for here)

Anyway, I have to say that I grew up with brown eggs, and now that's what I prefer even though I KNOW there's no difference. It's really mostly sentimental on my part, and Oh, I've been known to say that about brown hens and white hens and egg color too... I just say USUALLY though. It's easier than explaining about the ear color, breeds and all the rest. It's true that Martha should have known better, but I'm not going to get too picky over it.

You could tell people that white eggs come from stressed chickens and thecolored eggs are from relaxed happy chickens. You know "Colored eggs come from Happy chickens!" Duh people get a hint...

Is it true that commercial eggs are bleached?

 

[Preservation Acres]

Not bleached. They're just so old that all of the color has faded out of them.
