So, this morning I was at the feed store browsing the cages of chickens that were available for purchase. I was looking at a very pretty EE hen. She look for all the world like a Salmon Faverolle with a dusty colored muff and slate colored legs; I forget what her comb was. Anyway, I said to no one in particular: "pretty bird", and the worker on the other side of the cage piped up: "she's an Americana".
Well, I should have bitten my tongue, or I should have said "why do you think so?" but instead I said (not aggressively, mind you): "no she's not".
Ouch....
Then the conversation went like this:
"yes she is"
"no she isn't"
"yes she is"
"no she isn't"....
until he walked off in a huff.....
I think my diplomacy skills need some work.....
