I like how "This is chicken math" foreshadowed the later: "..they were shipping four little chicks... fully vaccinated and guaranteed to be 90% female. Guaranteed. "
Also, seriously, the part where you forged ahead asking the questions you felt you needed to ask in the face of social pressure to "wind down" the conversation and end the call ...that's something that's been awfully hard for me and still maybe is. So props to you!
Besides, it yielded this really cooool fact about their system and procedures: "We print weather maps to see the likely path of the delivery trucks, and we provide warming packs or insulation rings, as needed. We take good care of the chicks in transit."
And also the catch-all question at the end! (You had an expert on the line, after all!)
I feel like there are a lot of times in life where the person "on the other end" in a convo has information I need, and I don't know how to target it, and they don't know what information would most help me (doctors, for example!). And it really requires "conducting an interview" like this, persisting & being bold in the face of discouragement, and asking questions that make you look a bit weird till you maybe get to that point of mutual recognition: "Ahhh, here is what she needs to know."

Thanks, Theodicy! Hope you're doing well!
