Weird things only poultry people get.

I've had people ask if I eat my chickens, too. Even after saying "absolutely not" & explaining that they're my babies. When pressed further, I've been known to suggest we eat their pets or children, since theirs can't make 'em breakfast & pretty much freeload. When the righteous indignation starts I tell 'em I understand completely & just stare at them.

Poor sleeping bantam cutie! Ah the things we insulate them from!

I’ve had many people after seeing my birds ask if my chickens are for eating ..I raise d’Uccles...not exactly a full course meal there lol. Not to mention they are 100% all pets!!!!

Anybody ever ask you how you tell your chickens apart? Why you like chickens? Ask you what the cute red and white thing full of water in your chicken coop is?

Here's a spot to post your funny stories about these things and more. (If this should be in a different section, please move it!)

Here's one of mine: Last year, I was reading a book called How to Speak Chicken. Someone looks at me and in the most condescending tone possible, says, So, how do you speak chicken? I say, "bawk."

I’ve got that book!

I had to save these two pins because I do it all the time. I'm not ashamed.

What, not everybody does that?

I was showing some people this barred rock pullet and I explained she was female, but they would not stop referring to her as he.

My two year old brother can name the comb, wattles, eyes, and beak on a chicken and he can also crow. We are working on the differences between hens and roosters. But for now, all chickens go Ooo-ooo.

I am training the five year old in The way of the chicken. He’s working on names and breeds right now.

I plan to make him fill out one of my chicken observation sheets once he can write.
