Weird things only poultry people get.

I hate when eggs break in the pocket and then you have to clean it (nearly impossible) and your entire laundry room smells like raw egg

I never keep eggs in my pockets, lol.

One fall day I pulled my daughters winter barn coat out of the closet, where it had been stored all summer. Thought I would wash it so it was ready for when it got cold. When I checked the pocket before putting it in the washer I found an egg! So glad I checked the pockets!

That would have been super bad if not found

I have busted exactly one egg in a pocket this year. It was forgotten in an outdoor jacket destined for the laundry. Yes, nasty. Made the laundry a chore.

However, my hens have been so busy playing with the opposite sex during COVID that my supply of breakfast eggs has been limited to 1-4 per day with a lot of peeps not yet ready to lay eggs. That limits the number of eggs that don’t make it to the kitchen a few minutes after collection.

Then, there are the old nest boxes...eggs there rarely make it into coat pockets or rolled-up shirts....

when we went to a pumpkin patch they had chickens and the hens were wearing saddles. Everyone who walked by was saying "look the chicken is wearing an outfit."

Did the other colleagues attending the meeting see the egg? Or was it hidden in a coat pocket?

I ran out and stuck it in the car.
Another time I accidentally wore crocs to a meeting, so they're pretty used to it.

If you can count, it is easy to remember my chickens' names. I use numbered wing bands 1-300.
I've never named a chicken.
Naming would be a problem, they're all black.

Wait so all of their names are numbers?

"67! Don't peck your sister 48! Oh hello, 30 oh I mean 31 sorry. Quit your egg singing 86!"
Sorry I had to.

For some reason everyone is like, "how do you know all your chicken's names?" I am like, seriously people, your children have three names each and usually have different birthdays. Mine all share two birthdays and have one name each. It's not that hard.

My chickens don't have names and I wouldn't be able to tell them apart if they did.
They are all black and there can be as many as 100 of them. If I was inclined to name them, how would I do that?

My cousin was 6 when I got my first chickens. It took him several months to stop referring to my entire female flock as "him" and "he". He still asks me when they will have chicks...I don't have/never had a rooster.
