The most dumb / ignorant / funny comment you've had about chickens?

i feel for u...ive been there!!...........too many times

I have a series of books called "First Questions and Answers" issued by TIME LIFE, geared at answering all the questions little kids ask. For example: why is the sky blue, where does thunder come from, why is grass green, why do roosters crow and so on and so on. Well a couple of weeks ago I was reading one of these, entitled "Farms" to my 5 year old son and the question was "Why are some eggs white and some brown?" ...guess what folks...Here is the answer from the book, word for word..."White eggs come from white hens. Brown eggs come from hens that are gray or red or black. White eggs and brown eggs taste the same, and both of them are equally good for you." So my son asks why are they lying. (we have a white rock that most definitely lays brown eggs) I can't believe this is actually published, by TIME LIFE no less. So now I don't trust any of the twenty books in the series.

Oh, by the way, the books were published in 1995...

I enjoy the glazed over look I get when I run into a long lost friend and begin talking and I tell them I have chickens. They act like I done escaped a mental institution.

Some folks just don't get it.

Here's todays adventure, posted it in the quail forum, but thought you'd enjoy the chuckle here too....

Went to the hardware store today.....

I know, I didn't go near the powertools, sheesh start one electricial fire and electrocution and no one lets you forget.

Needed some 1x2 to finish up my Quail cages. So I walk down the lumber aisle, and start checking the planks for straightness, find one, and the guy in the orage apron walks over, whatcha building ma'am? A quail pen.

Quail?!? What are you gonna do with quail?

My son chymes in "mommy's gonna cut thier heads off, pull out thier guts, put cheese inside and wrap them in bacon, it's yummy!" (kid cooks with me, and knows the steps).

Guy looks at, "He's kidding right?"

"Nope you want the recipie?"

Never seen a guy get green so fast.

My best question was when my older sister asked me if we have human eggs or chicken eggs? I replied we have chicken eggs hence we have chickens. Her reply was are they brown or white? I said brown and white. She said no did you buy them from the store or do you get them from your barn? I said my barn. She said those are chicken eggs, I will get my eggs from the store.

Yeah, they have tiny brains-- so what? You don't have to be a genius to be funny or cute-- in fact, it frequently seems to help not to be! I guess your roommate doesn't get that. Tell her that chimpanzees are the smartest animal next to humans and have an almost equivalent brain size proportionately, but it would be a bad idea to keep one of those as a pet since they have a nasty habit of tearing the limbs off those they're angry with.

Let me put it this way. She eats nothing here because we are not normal. We raise our own meat, eggs, vegeies, sauces, pickles,relish, you name it we make it. I hate to go shopping. And yes after all these years you get chicken eggs from a farm and human eggs from the store. I, and my brother want to know how 4 kids can be brought up in the same house and have such different views. We hunted fished all of it. Our two sisters are from another planet is all we can figure.
