Weird things only poultry people get.

@HappyClucker7 , I feel the same way!! Every time someone comes to see my birds their first sentence is "will they peck/bite/hurt me?" My birds must look intimidating (not)

A girl I know went all out. She bought an incubator and brooder with all the trimmings. She bought 10 chickens and waited patiently for them to lay eggs. She faithfully gathered eggs every morning and filled her incubator to capacity.
She waited and waited. Day 21 came and went. Day 25 came and went. Nothing. She called me and asked what could be wrong. I said, “ It sounds like your rooster isn’t doing his job.”
Her reply...”But I don’t have a rooster.”
I died.

Is she blonde?

Okay to be fair, turkens look like dinosaurs. The boyfriend of a judge at my fair Yesterday thought my sweet boy Zeus was going to try to grab him. Same with another girls turkens trio. He thought they all were mean because they look like angry dinosaurs. Gosh I love that guy XD

Whenever people are at my house, they always want to see the chickens. (Who wouldn't? They're adorable.) So I always take them to the coop. Once the people stand in front of the chickens, they always get kind of nervous and they tentatively ask, "Are your chickens nice? Will they peck me?" I always tell them no, the chickens will not peck them. The people rarely ever pet them though.

They're missing out.

Once we had my mom's cousin over who has an extreme phobia of birds (this isn't funny, it's just very intriguing) I brought out one of my sweet turkeys to show her and she had a complete meltdown I had no idea beforehand that she had this fear so I was surprised at her reaction

Well then... Poor girl.
My gram has a phobia of chickens and one day when she was at my house. I walked up to her and held out a baby chick. She melted and started to coe to it. So then I told her, "Do you want chickens now?" And she said, "Oh heck no! They grow up!" (She didn't use the word heck though)

Hey! I myself am a blondie! And I find that what you saying is... well... true.

Any time I hear someone make a comment about blondies I think of my cousin.
Who happens to be a true blondie.

She was driving home on the interstate and called her mom frantically crying because she couldn't find her car keys.

.... She was driving...

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

I thought everyone did this, lol, but clearly they don't!

My mother's friends would say not so funny things...
I showed them the chickens and said, "These are my pets". Then they said, "When are they fat enought to eat? I will pay you money for the fresh meat. We are having a bbq soon." And pointed at the bantam on my shoulder that was sleeping so innocently. ._. My pets I said. Do people eat their dogs? They weren't joking.

I would bother my siblings and nag about how they took something from me and then 10 minutes of ruining the house looking for it, I would find it in my pocket. I am the only blond in my family besides my mom.
