thought this was funny and it shows how dumb people are

After my mom purchased 10 acres and I decided I wanted chickens I became addicted to this site. I talk chicken talk like 24/7 now. I had my ex (a marine) and his entire shop build me a bator. They built the entire thing out of plexiglass (a whole nother story). My mom asks why do I need an incubator. I said well some grocery store eggs are fertile and you can hatch them and you will have chickens. Well she has been telling all the girls at her law firm my plans. She also told them my plans about hatching grocery store eggs. They said OMG I'm not eating eggs ever again. The women are striaght city girls and wouldnt know a chicken if it had a "Im a chicken" sign hanging on its neck. Now none of the girls at her law firm will eat eggs cause they say they are baby chickens. One lady went home and threw away all the eggs she had boiled right into the trash. I started to tell momma about battery chickens. After I told her I said please dont even mention that to the girls at your law firm.
The bator that my ex built (all plexiglass) it expolded once it was at 95 degrees. Can you imagine if I was trying to hatch ANYTHING. Marines are great but dont listen to a word you say once there is 100% testorone in the room.

The eggs would be funny if it weren't so sad.

How is it that people can go to school for 12 +/- years in this country and have so little idea of where their food comes from? Everything we eat was alive and had the potential to reproduce, in one sense or another. We can't live on air and minerals. People are ignorant (rather than dumb) in ways our society should be ashamed of.

Unless there's a rooster in the battery cages....no chance of a fertile egg from there.

that is hilarious! i can just picture that poor gal running right home in tears and throwing out all her eggs! hee hee hee

i have to explain (egg-splain??) it over and over that there needs to be three things for an egg to hatch:

1. a rooster
2. time
3. the proper temperature

my non-farm family/friends still thinks the eggs i take up every day have fully formed chickens in them. sigh.....

they are boiled already so why she threw them away is beyond me

Lady you have already cooked the "baby chicken"
