RE: I guess Naked Necks are just a breed of horribly sick chicken?
Naw, they're just different and too many people don't handle "different" well. "It's different!! YIKES!" Heaven forbid if something doesn't conform to their preconceived ideas.
RE: I just intervened nicely when he was telling his kids not to touch them because they would get sick.
Good. That way the kids can't transmit to your chickens the stupidity they may have caught from him.
Unfortunately, there's just no fixing stupid and, sadly, when you deal with the uninformed "general" public, there's no escaping it, either. I work in a school system and a parent once told me she was going to *tell* her doctor to give her child an "antibiotic for anxiety". I could go on for hours about what I've been told. Best thing to do is come on here to vent, and entertain us with your stories while you're at it. We appreciate them!!
