I didn't get many dumb things said to me at farm fair this year, but you would not BELIEVE number of people who couldn't tell a duck from a chicken and vice versa. And almost everyone thought that the hens were roosters. And the number of people who didn't even know that chicken was the species not the female? Unbelievable! It took me 5-10 minutes to explain to this one woman the hen=female rooster=male thing. She kept saying: "so chicken is female?"
