The DUMBEST thing I've ever heard somebody say about Chickens...READ!
- Thread starter Chiko
- Start date
I work for and with several college educated people and this one still floors me.
"If you don't have a rooster how are you going to get eggs?"
The answer always ends up in me educating them in where babies come from. I start with "Down on the farm" in the middle is the birds and the bees and at the end "Well you know how it works for a human female right? A man is needed to make a baby. That is the roosters roll. To make a baby, protect the hens and help find food."
Our education system at work.

The other guy next to him said: "and this is one of my smart friends!!!"

My girls are 4 & 6 and know eggs come from chickens & milk comes from cows. But after our BR laid her first egg on Wednesday, they wanted to know when the baby chick was going to hatch. I had to explain to them that the egg was too small, and we needed the chicken to grow up a bit more before we let them have baby chicks.
But they are excited, our resident Writing Spider in front of our house made a egg sack on Wednesday also. So now the girls are on "Spider Sack Egg Watch".
Also, People lighten up, someone says something & someone always has to get their undies in a bunch. You don't see men jumping in all offended about the post saying about buying a rooster egg. Our 4 year old is blonde and she even has blonde moments. I just have the CRS moments.
I think it is interesting in the 21st century, that some people still do not know how their food is produced or where it comes from.
We watch a lot of the show "How It's Made" my girls love it & we get to discuss how things are made. They did love the one on cheese, and were surprised on home much milk is needed to make cheese.

Umm....being a blonde all my life, I have dealt with the stereotypical "blonde" jokes quite often, and I don't think anyone is being out of line by feeling that this otherwise funny story was immediately ruined by the comment about the uninformed lady obviously being a blonde.
I am not stupid. My daughter is blonde and is not stupid. My grandmother and mother are blondes and aren't stupid. My son is blonde and while he is "special needs" and developmentally delayed, he is not stupid. I do not like remarks such as "oh she was a blonde" like I have to make excuses for my haircolor not matching my level of intelligence.
How would you feel if someone said: "well he abused the dog horribly...but hey, he's a kid." Thereby implying that because he was a kid it was okay that he was an animal abuser? Would that be something we should all ignore when many of us have perfectly well-behaved children?
Sheesh. Maybe if you felt that you spent your entire life trying to thwart an unfair stereotype you would understand.

NOOOO don't say she's blonde!!! I hate when ppl asume I'm mentally deficient because of my hair color!
That's obnoxiously ignorant! Even my youngest students know chickens lay eggs. How many little kid/baby books say "milk comes from cows eggs come from chickens". Bacon comes from slicing open the side of a pig. J/k
But seriously I grew up in los Angeles- do you think we had chickens?? I'd never even seen a real chicken until I went to college and that's only because I was an animal sci major. LOL.
I blame her parents- this is why teachers push taking your kids places even if its just to a "Lie- berry". Experience=more neuron connections= larger knowledge base to build upon= not asking stupid questions to the poor chicken lady.
