I didn't write this. I picked it up from a forum.

"There is a nice little old lady retired from IBM who lives down the street from me. 84 years old.
PGE forced her to accept a Smart Meter last Fall.
It was put on the wall of the house adjacent to her living area for her big red hens. Four of them, very friendly. They were in the habit of laying BROWN eggs with THICK shells IN their nests.
Two weeks after the install of the SM those chickens were dropping eggs in the yard, not in their nests. They were now white egg shells and very thin and brittle.
My friend called PGE yet again. This time she told them that if they did not take the SM out on the next day she would smash it with her sledge hammer.
The next morning they were out and reinstalled an analog dumb meter as she had before.
Another three weeks passed.
Then the chickens began laying their eggs IN their nests. The eggs had THICK BROWN SHELLS again. Chickens were all happy and healthy again.
Now tell me that this is all in the heads of the chickens.
And BTW we checked all the other possible causes: change of food (nope); change of water (nope); change of weather (nope); change of location and range (nope) etc etc. EVERYTHING was exactly the same except that the SM was gone and then the problems went away.
And yes, I did think of every possible variable. In my primary career as a Mainframes Computer Guru, I ascended thru the ranks operator, programmer, systems analyst, SR Systems Analyst, and then Management. I know how to analyze, evaluate, and think of everything. I was paid (at that time) a very handsome salary to do that stuff.
Of course I passed this chicken finding on to the big anti-SM group in Santa Cruz so they could circulate it. And PGE, well, they are very quiet and really really don't want to talk about it.
So that's my SM story and I'm sticking to it."
