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

[Sharons7]

I grew up in the suburbs as did most of my cousins. One summer when I was about 8 and my cousin David was 6 we traveled to our great grandmothers house in Kentucky. She had a garden and chickens and an outhouse. David had never seen live chickens before and gr-grma also had a big white husky. My aunt had been telling him about the chickens and about the garden, etc. As the car drove closer to grma's house Snowball the big white husky was eagerly waiting in the front yard and my cousin yells out "That's the biggest chicken I ever seen!!" Our family laughed about that for years. sigh..I wish now I was able to learn more from my great grandma we called mamaw Benton. Her water came from the well, her garden was an acre, the food she canned she stored literally in the side of the hill with a wooden door to enter and the outhouse she was still using til 1980. Oddly I want to live like that. Simple , happy and healthy. She was a widow for years, lived like that til she was 90 and died with a peaceful smile on her face...Snowball the husky chicken!!

Hey Javamama...I think your gramps is right. After all, dont we get chocolate milk from the brown cows?

I would love some fresh chocolate milk...I wonder if a goat would work?

Grampa really didn't know what to say about the green eggs from the EE hen. I thought he was going to have a stroke right there. He had white leghorns in his youth - also didn't believe me that I have a brown leghorn who lays white eggs. It was a difficult day and really the reason I don't discuss my birds with many people.​

Sometimes I think living like that would be nice, then when you or a family member has 'tummy troubles', it makes you think "Glad I don't have to run out to an outhouse!" Imagine being sick, yuk. We just went without a washing machine for almost a full month. It started out fun. But I was one happy woman yesterday when the new one got hooked up!
On the other hand, when the power goes out, I think how nice it would be to have a well with a bucket, and an outhouse!
I guess it's all a trade-off.

" I'm not eating those disgusting brown eggs from our chickens butts" as she cracks a store bought white egg into a frying pan.

Was at my niece's baby shower a couple of months ago and my sister-in-law and I are sitting down talking about our chickens. Some woman (neighbor/friend/not sure) wanders over to our conversation, listens for a minute, looks at me and asks "You have chickens?" I said, "Yes, I do." She pauses for a second and says "You don't look like the kind of person who has chickens." Me: "What do you mean?" Her: "Oh, don't worry, that's a compliment... because you're pretty."

I was completely speechless.
