Weird things only poultry people get.

When I go check on my chicks I call them all "babies". Such as: "Good morning babies." And they all (well some of them) peep back at me.

I call my chicks, when talking to them as a group, "cheepers". Once they get older, I call them boys and/or girls. When talking to my ducks, I call them "Quackers" (autocorrect always changes that to quakers, hahaha). All of my chickens and ducks have names so I call them by name when speaking to them individually

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Oh, either one, I think.
Do chickens get gas?

Yes, at least mine do/have. You're in for some chuckles whenever you hear it.

I call my chick chirpitys and my older chickens bokitys. I was talking to someone at a public place who had chickens, and I said my bokitys didn’t like mealworms and it seemed like my rooster wanted to lay some eggs, you know, casually talking about our flocks.
Some random woman turned and stared at me. She then continued to say ‘ Chickens aren’t called bokitys. They all like mealworms and they all lay eggs. You should really do some research.’
The guy I was talking to erupted in laughter and we had to explain that I just called them bokitys and no, chickens don’t all like mealworms and an even bigger no, roosters don’t lay eggs.

That was rude. I just couldn’t imagine thinking that roosters lay eggs

Oh, she had the I-want-to-speak-to-your-manager haircut and everything. I don’t even she ever saw a chicken, let alone knew their reproductive systems.

The number of people that go " wait, you don't need a rooster for the hens to lay eggs!?" is remarkable.

I’ve had an adult ask me if a chick (day old) was gonna peck they and they were scared to hold it because they thought it could hurt them.

This is so my mom.

There are more people that believe chickens pee, and trust me, you don’t want to be on any side of that explanation.

Chick: has white diarrhea.
My mother who was visiting to see the chicks: at least it’s peeing
Me: no, it’s dying.
Edit: an hour later jasper died. it was a sad day, to say the least.

Lol. I call my human children Kidlets.

Hope you don't have goats too!

I can understand people who haven't been around chickens wondering that, but that's why google was invented.
