I totaly agree with you. I have found some very nice people on here. It is only a very few that are like maram magpie. I know you have to make money on your investment but some of this Marans chicks and eggs stuff reminds me of beannie babies.
I know if something is rare and limited it should be taken care of and should be worth the investment you are making. I also know that Marans do not lay like a RIR's or Some of the other heavy layers and that makes the eggs worth more. I also know that the person selling chicks or eggs has to have stock held for their own breeding purpose. That in it's self cuts the amount of stock available.
I also know that there are a lot of other people out there with more money than I have. Yes unless someone gives me a break on the Marans I would like to have I will raise something else but, I think that Maran magpie could have worded it a lot nicer. I thought all of us were here to help each other. That's all I have to say on the matter. I mean no disrespect to anyone.
