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

[Buck Creek Chickens]

You don't need a rooster for eggs, really, I don't believe you, you have to have a rooster to get eggs.

"I know the rooster has to stimulate the hens for them to lay"

Uh nope.

"Can I keep the eggs on my counter?"

Not in 100 degree days, you'll start them incubating.

Wonder what they meant by strut....

This is really an endearing story. I am sure everyone she knew assumed the same. Folks then likely had never even heard of anything like Story's, never mind having access to BYC. They just had each other, and did the best they could. How lovely that she responded by being interested in learning something new!

When I read Orwell's 1984, which I did well before 1984, I wondered whether I would live long enough to have some sort of in-home library access. The internet still amazes me.

I get this one at least once a month.

Also "Chickens stink!" from people who have never seen a real live chicken in there life. Let alone smell one.

Or how about "Hey!...Aren't you the chicken guy?".

I had a neighbor say my chickens flew over his car and pooped, Come on....get real! LMAO

 

[turtleblossom]

I had an elderly neighbor accuse me of raising "fight'n cocks". I said no, I don't own any game birds. I have 17 hens with two roos. She kept on insisting that my brown red Ameraucana roo was a fighter. I explained that he is a show bird and she didn't believe it. She said that all game birds were his color.
What?

I was at work talking to a couple of co-workers about hatching chicks and basically got the same type of response.

The woman said, "YOU have chickens." (in a very snide way) I said, "Yes, I love them and can't wait to get more! She responds, "I never would have guessed you were that type. Well, you know what I mean, farmery"

Is that even a word...

 

[monarc23]

That fertile eggs are inedible
That you NEED a rooster for hens to lay eggs
That roosters are all aggressive

Oh, that's hilarious. Maybe you should've gone into work the next day wearing overalls and chewing on a bit of wheat.

(I would love to be "farmery" someday.....)
