Haahaa you passed with i a stones throw of me!!

Let me know how they grow out-- in general I was planning to shut down the breeding of the BO and just buy female chicks. THe boys are sweet though but something has to give.

I wanted to tell my story of generosity turned to stupidity.
I was selling some eggs on Ebay.  A woman buys eggs, asks me to hurry and send them, her son is terminally ill and she has had such back luck with the other sellers on ebay....oh and if I have extra, send them as well.
Wanting to be helpful, and thinking that time was essential, I offer to send chicks.  I sent 8 chicks, and paid for the extra shipping, box and warmers.  I told the woman if for some reason the chicks did not make it, I would send eggs.
The post office did not get the chick out in a timely manner and per this woman the chicks died.  She tells me how disappointed she is, son is crying, she is crying, she is disappointed I only sent 8 chicks.  I understand her [COLOR=000000]disappointment[/COLOR], I have some disappointment and losses of my own, thank you.
So here is where the story gets good, I start doing a little research, said buyer:

• Has won 3 auctions for Bresse eggs on Ebay, leaving negative feed back for each
• Has been asking for contributions for her terminally ill son for over 8 years
• Has a second profile on ebay and is pre-selling Bresse eggs
• Has an ad on SC Craigslist selling Bresse chicks and pairs, etc.

Per our conversation through CL, she can not get it right whether her stock came from purchased eggs she hatched, or did she paid $399 each for her breeding stock.
I did send the replacement eggs, because I am a person of my word.  
This is not about a sick child, this is about Cyber Panhandling, preying on people's sensitivity and just plain greed.  I am putting this warning out there so if any of you that come across this woman, you have some facts.
