Why did the chicken cross the road?

Well I'll be damned. I know where to go when I got chicken questions! ;)

You know what's funny? K, this will show my stupidity so don't let it leave this thread ;) but I didn't know you had to have a rooster to get eggs. In my mind they were eating eggs, not unformed baby chicks, so I'm thinking, what the fuck do I need a rooster for, I don't want no baby chickens! And yes, I felt like a complete idiot when that had to be explained to me. :D

LOL No, you don't need a rooster for eggs. But as the hens mature their production slows down. (Women are the same in all species. :D ) So, unless you want to mail order the rest of your life, after a year you let a hen hatch a clutch out. Wallah, new chickens. And after she hatches them out. You trade your rooster out. Buy a new one or trade with a neighbor. You don't want the rooster on hiw 'daughters'. ;)

Holy shit, I never thought of that.

Perhaps I should re-think the whole chicken endeavor. I'd hate to end up with a bunch of inbred fucked up chickens! LOL

Well actually...I'd like some chickens. Not to fuck. I want the eggs. I want to be one of those country people who sell fresh eggs on the roadside. I want some of those cute chickens, you know the ones with the crazy feathers. I don't want any plain old white dangerous chickens. You know you can order chickens thru the mail? Isn't that weird? Who knew...they come Fed Ex. :D I've got my order form hanging the fridge...just waiting for Spring.
