**Chicken sale??**

[Tripp16]

Ok well I have been driving past this house with A TON of bantams all over their yard.....

So I drove past it today on the way to work and see a sign "CHICKEN SALE" I have nothing to do tomorrow (being saturday) so I thought maybe I would go check it out....

Do you think I should? I havent actually gotten close enough to see if the chickens were in good health all I could see were that they were bantams. Should I not go in case of disceases?? Anyone have any reasons why not? Or what to look for??

Just the usual cautions. Be ready to sanatize your shoes and clothes before you go near your own flock. And if you're tempted into buying...... 30 days quarrantine!

Well I WILL NOT buy anything that I think will harm my flock! Unless they are being abused. But nothing that is just going to die anyways and may even kill my flock....
