The DUMBEST thing I've ever heard somebody say about Chickens...READ!

[Beekissed]

Even worse than that, one of the bulls had Sam Elliott doing his voice.....

If you can get past the fact that the manliest voice in the universe is standing there with udders jutting out his front, then you have to imagine his commercials where he growls, "Beef. It's whats for supper."

How cannibalistic!

I worked with women, supposedly country women, mind you, who were well into their fifties and almost beyond, who argued with me one day that chickens eggs did not emerge from their picky opening but from their vaginas, like humans. After I explained chicken anatomy to them they swore they would never eat another egg as long as they lived....as if eggs from a vagina were any more appealing than eggs from a butt????

She thought humans...... laid eggs?

I love that woman. She makes me feel like a genius!

LOL --- that's amazing... absolutely... mind boggling... haha wow.


But... I did have my uncle remark, "WHOA birds actually have ears?!?!" when I showed them to him on my parrot... e.e He thought they could somehow hear without them, lol. And he's an adult who owns his own business. So you never know. Some things just never occur to people... although I think that thinking that store-bought eggs are manmade is a little extreme!!! WOW!

And... I also think people need to lighten up about the "dumb blonde" jokes. ROFL-- my blonde friend has told me most of the "dumb blonde" jokes I know.... it's all in good fun.

Was it "Back at the Barnyard" ?

Something with the word 'Barnyard'. I was like 8 or 9 when the movie came out and I was aghast that the boys had udders!

It IS "Barnyard". I know. My brothers love that horrid movie. Has a few funny moments, but ultimately it's super obnoxious, and yes, all the bulls have udders... e.e

Just as a side note, as a fairly-well educated adult with an above-average grasp of how nature works, I was pretty intrigued by something I learned on a public TV cooking show. I have always loved stinky blue cheeses, and had often seen demonstrations of how cheese is made, but none had ever specifically explained how blue cheese is made. I mean, what makes blue cheese blue? All the programs said to take the milk, add salt, add rennet (sp?), heat, separate curds from whey, etc., etc., etc. But that process was the same for mozzarella, cheddar, swiss...? I wondered if it was the aging process, the breed of cow (or goat), the climate, what? It turns out, the big important factor in making cheese blue is that the cows (in this case) grazed on salty grasses, right along the the sea coast.

I just thought it was a fascinating, intriguing answer to a life-long quandry. I know, I'm easily impressed. Any way, thought somebody else might find it as interesting as I did.

mm

From what I know, blue cheese is moldy cheese. The chuncks in it is mold.. I know that LOTS of people LOVE blue cheese including my family, but it is hard to believe that it is moldy cheese. That is why it is called 'Blue cheese'. Because mold is blue and green. And blue cheese has mold in it.

I believe it's a specific kind of mold also that gives different cheeses their flavor, as well.

My cockatiel use to come to work with me at a VET clinic- as in veterinary animal doctor. Everytime he would turn his head around to clean his back or take a nap someone would freak out that his neck just broke. It all comes down to experiences!

I bet every blonde person out there that had to say something bad to say about that LITTLE blonde joke was a woman, because I have seen so many threads about women talkin trash about men. And some person puts a little blonde joke in conversation and wigs are flying through the computer screen about it. Seriously It's really ridiculous to get so upset. My father, whom I don't talk with that often found out he was a little bit jewish, and before he found out...... people made jewish jokes and he would Laugh his butt off, now he get's his "Man Panties" in a bunch when someone mentions a jewish joke at all. I have never been a kind of person to make racial, religious, or prejudice jokes, but I don't get my Undies in a bunch about someone saying one either.

Some people are not very bright. A few months ago I gave my sister and her fiance a dozen eggs because he buys 2-3 dozen of the local organic brown eggs from the health food store every week. At the time I had NO roosters. I found out a few days ago my sister ate them all because he wouldn't. He was afraid there were baby chicks in them. Ummm, they have been here, seen my girls, asked about them and been told they were all girls. I have roos now, but they are still babies. Whatever buddy, spend $4 a carton for your eggs, I have a waiting list for mine, doesn't bother me. Of course my mom told them if there weren't blood spots they weren't fertile.

She was raised on a farm in Iowa, but to her credit they only did meat chickens. She also tried telling me I needed a rooster to get eggs, and then that I needed special food (i'm assuming layer pellets) for them to lay. At least she has been reeducated, lol, and corrects everyone now.

I betcha you thought this was a dream and you were going to wake up...too funny! I've learned a lot about chickens recently, and I still answer some basic questions, but I think yours took grand prize for "what were you (not) thinking?" LOL

My neighbor next door is within rooster crowing distance, so she gets a doz/month. I call this "shush eggs". I have new hens, and darker colored eggs. She was a little hesitant about the new color. I can't wait to see her face next month, now that my Easter Egger is laying green ones LOLOL!!!
