I think we know more than we think we do. Let's face it folks, those Know-it-all breeder-snobs have rubbed off on us. Looking back through this thread, I see us using a lot of breeder terms and using them correctly.

Arrrrrrgh! We are becoming the other guy!

But my my, where would we be without our dragicons? Them thar fancy breeders got nothing on us. They just maintain the breeds, we invented a few! Nanner, Nanner, Nanner!

Long Live the Newbies and Hatchery Bird Keepers!!!! We are the future of Chickens!!!

I love my hatchery chickens. I got them for pets. I don't breed them. I give the eggs away to people who want fresh eggs to eat. They are sweet and funny and give me alot of pleasure just watching them and caring for them. That's why I have chickens. Embrace diversity!

Yup. There's no need to tell me that my pet birds are hatchery-quality. I'm well aware of that; I bought them at a hatchery.

Although, I don't mind the term quite so much when it is used to identify someone's bird. If you simply say, "Silver-laced Wyandotte" for example, and the bird has lacing that looks more like spangling, people will have their doubts. If you say, "Hatchery-quality", it gives more reasoning for the imperfections. I think it's better though when someone says, "Hatchery-quality --------, but she's a gorgeous bird!"
