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

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.....)

Yeah, I think the word is cute, I'm not offended by it at all...though I don't quite think she meant it as a compliment!

My aunt and neighbor both were amazed at how huge my chickens were and wanted to know how many eggs I was getting. I had 8 wk old pullets. They were quite shocked when I explained they were still babies and would get bigger.

All these are hysterical.

From my mom aka Queen of Guilt:
Birds will give the kids' lice.
I wouldn't want something pooping and peeing in my backyard (she dogsits)
If you don't put those eggs in the fridge they are going to go bad.
I guess you aren't going to quit until you have goats and cows.
Is this bird hobby to get me back because I wouldn't let you keep everything you dragged home as a kid?
Your daughter is going to get worms from running around barefoot out there where the birds have walked.

From my BFF:
I can't eat duck eggs. What if one hatches before I use it. (no drake here).
Why can't you just get stuff from the store? You have no idea what your pets are eating out there.
My husband says that eggs are brown and white. Anything green must be bad.
I guess you'll be getting a goat next. What would you want one of those things for anyway? (Um, no mention of goat but now that you said that...)

Okay, that one just takes the prize for most silly. What, like we have better knowledge of what the "stuff at the store" has eaten?

well the white ones come out a chickens butt, they just wiped the the brown off!

LOL, i was like...BRITTANY for real? those white eggs are like 6 months old. This brown egg is a day old. That white egg came from a chicken that was squished in a cage with 4 other hens, hot, hungry, never able to walk, sick and you prefer those eggs.

I saw how hens were treated when laying in egg farms. That's what made me get chickens.....i was sooo ticked i could have killed someone!!

Yeah, I hate it when I open the fridge and find a dang duck has hatched and drank all my beer.​

My mom works in a feed store and they had their annual “chick days” when an older couple came in the store to replenish their chickens. They only wanted to get hens. Well, during the conversation with mom the lady said they have been trying to hatch their own but haven’t had a single one hatch. Well the first question my mom had was if they had a rooster. The woman looked at her kind of funny and said of course not!

Mom then told her that was the problem, she needed a rooster! The lady still didn’t get it and asked “why” they needed a rooster. So here my mom is explaining to the woman the “chicken facts of life”. The lady made finished it off by saying “no wonder they have never hatched through the years”.

They bought a rooster.

Dang ducks have super powers, apparently. Unlike chickens, they have the ability to hatch unfertilized and refrigerated! And to drink beer!

Maybe there's some confusion with Howard the Duck.

Well, if the first two were both true, I guess we wouldn't be eating eggs!

It's worse when some loony Buff Orp chick has hatched and drunk all my champagne!
