We went to a reptile place and the man showed us turtles. One boy one girl. I couldn't tell them a part cause I couldn't see any genitals so I asked the man how he knew and he had the nerve to tell me to ask my parents. As if they know how to sex turtles.

I was blonde before I went bald and started shaving my head. You spend less time in the shower that way.

I'm sorry Jenny, but I have to disagree with you. This is not a matter of what was educated in school or not, but rather a matter of who chose to learn and who chose not to, and that I'm afraid is everywhere (or in any country). I have relatives in Sibiu (Romania), a place with beautiful mountains and countryside. As a child I spent every summer there with my relatives who raised sheep, and believe me, I have heard things much more ignorant than this.

[All About Chicken]

I as from the city and the whole farming thing was new and exciting. I can say with some embarrassing fact that I had a few things wrong. I thought chickens like some other male animals sprayed the eggs to fertilize them. To my surprise that was not the case after the 4 roosters became very rough with my hens. Us city folk… Now after several years and many types of farm animals it’s all good. Thought all of you would get a chuckle I still get one when I thank back.

i very much agree with you. but i also am sure those stupid things you've heard were not about common, basic things like where the eggs come from, where the milk comes from and such. who doesn't know that you have to keep the males and the females together in order to get fertile eggs? (sibiu area is an wonderful area. i have a piece of land at porumbacu de sus)

To the OP I apologies for the off the topic reply.

To Jenny- I use to visit Cacova, Fantanele and in Sibiu. Mostly Cacova. I so much loved those mountains views and the smell of hay as a child. I remember the creek that was running right underneath my bedroom window, literally inches from the house

Just last week a man and his family stopped by to purchase some eggs from me. They were new egg customers, and wanted to see my laying flock. I keep my big Light Brahma rooster "Rudy" outside of the hens lot unless I am breeding for new chicks. Rudy stays outside of the fence with "Goldie" a large buff orpington. They both hang out with Suzie, my 14 year old border collie, lab mix. The man saw Rudy and said "Your Rooster seems concerned that he can't be with the hens." I really didn't even know what to say!

Later the more I thought about it the dumber it seemed. "Sure he's concerned, (I thought) He'd rather be in the lot picking all the feathers off of my hens!"

I guess ol' Rudy will just have to see a therapist.
