I looked this up on Google and several sites say that you can tell what color eggs a hen will lay by looking at their earlobes… I didn’t even know chickens had earlobes lol

It’s not consistently true, Leghorns have yellow colored ears and lay white eggs, but yes, MOST eggs can be differentiated by their “lobes”.

♫ When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs, every morning to help me get large. Now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I’m roughly the size of a barge! ♫

Just imagine sitting down and eating five fucking dozen eggs to start your day. Gaston is insane.

This feels more like mildly infuriating since the color gradient is just slightly off

They’re from Araucana chicken from south America. Pretty cool if you ask me

I didn’t know Araucana was spelled that way, neat!

My family had a few when I was growing up, the eggs were delicious and they only chased me around the yard sometimes

Getting chased by an aggressive rooster is one of my earliest memories. I mostly just remember jurassic park levels of pure terror.

Now that I’m a large person, that perspective seems absurd, but chickens are very scary when you are small.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
