I think there are some people who (quite reasonably) care what kind of conditions their chickens will be living in after they are sold (or given away). I wouldn't sell a hen to go live in a coop where the current hens are already stressed from overcrowding, for instance. No, when I sell a hen I do not insist on a coop inspection first, but if I somehow knew that the conditions were poor, I would not make the sale.
I have not been following carefully the complaints of the opening poster, so I do not mean this to support one side or the other. I mean only to address the comments quoted above.
