Why do people want to sell the wrong breeds????????????????????????????

Just tuned into this thread today. Anybody still out there?? I also learned the difference of a BR & Dom...necker on BYC forum. Have learned a lot about chickens even though we had some when I was a teen.

What got me started learning the different breeds was: I bought an Aracauna pullet. Not only was it NOT a pullet, it Wasn't an Aracauna, it IS an EE. Really upset me to see chickens being sold by the wrong name also.
Actually, EE/Auracana/Ameracuna (sp?) is one that gets confused a lot. Part of it is the limited number of accepted colors for Amer/Aucanas (if the bird ends up with the wrong feathers, it is no longer an Ameracana, but a EE). Part of it is the "breeder/hatchery" was mis-informed and they keep selling chicks with the name of what they thought they had.
 
I ve done a lot of reading on breeds and have had a big interest in sex links. So you breed these two different birds together and the chicks come out a certain way and you can tell wich are the hens and roosters,ok. So i see a lot of people get the sex link chicks then breed them and say they are sex links.I pointed this out to a guy who still sells his birds as sex links on ebay.People dont get it.You wont get sex link chicks.You well get mutts that most likely are good layers.And you wont be able to sex them when they hatch.
 
Aw common Reb... You know we 'uns kain't talk right. We still say silly stuff like "sir, Ma'am, and Bless their hearts".




But we can still own them thar guns of arn an we can still be our freedom lovin selves.

No, actually "bless your heart" when used in that way can be one of the worst insults in the south. The joke is that we get that it is an others are confused an dont know how to respond. An even being in the know, its hard to know how to respond. You said something but you didnt at the same time. You can say it in front of anyone an not get a mouth full of soap but at the same time the point has been made. Its hard to explain cause it has so many meanings just by how when an where it is said. It sorta is the same as saying "kiss my butt" "I feel sorry for you" an "I love you" all at the same time.
 
Reb, ya did a good job defining "bless your heart"! But ya forgot the most important meanig-"yer an idjot!!".

So it is in essence a verbal eye roll connected with a "well duh" combined into a polite comment. or something to that effect and as I type this I feel a bless your heart coming my way....
