Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?
Free range? Yea or nay?

I saw one the other day that said something like:

Title: Small blonde poodle for adoption
Ad said: I love you mama, but she has to go.

I'm with you Muggs. I like to write out what color eggs they lay, how big they get... full page ad. Maybe I should just start writting "Chickens" and nothing else.

The thing that really urks me... I put 3-5 paragraphs about the breed on there, price, my location, ect.  People STILL email me saying things like "Do you have any (breed not in ad here) for sale?" Did I say I did? Pretty sure I didn't. Or the ad be for a trio and I always mention it is for THE TRIO... "not breaking them up, sold as one trio" and I get emails of people "How much for the hens. I have a rooster"

I stay polite, but on a bad day it's hard so I just ignore those... if you can't say nothing nice, don't say anything at all, right?

Let's talk about fish!

At least they managed to spell chicken right. People seem to have a real problem with that out here.

EXACTLY!  I posted the sale of a few breeds back in Oct.  I got emails for requests if I knew other people selling different breeds than what I had.  I sent a letter politely saying no, but the whole while I wanted to scream...get off your but and do your own GOOGLE search! barnie
