Flea Market Encounter with Chick Seller-ARGH!!

[speckledhen]

This isn't a Southern thing, this is an ignorant, lying, animal-abusing, jerk thing. I am no transplant and neither is my husband, whose family came to Ga in the 1600's. This guy gives Southerners a bad name, for sure but ignorance knows no geographical boundaries and neither does dishonesty.

Lol, this is funny, a "good ol' boy" once told US that the higher you set your feeders and waterers the taller your chickens will be.

Yeah, and MY animals talk, lol

flea markets are truely horrible... I went to one a few months back, this guy had "OEGBs" they were obviously crossed, packed together in a cage, neck feathers mostly gone from fighting, he had 2 ducks they laid down because they couldn't walk, looked as if a dog had caught them. Gamefowl, stacked next to each other in pens, they looked like they had been fighting for 7 weeks straight. 2 had a canker, and who knows what else.. the roosters were so bad they didn't even pay attention to each other which is horrible for gamefowl.. and then... his horse i have no idea, after seeing those i just walked away

to Josh: Um, what??? This is an ANCIENT thread and described an incident that occurred way, way back. Did you read the date?? How is telling what happened to me a problem for you? Excuse me, but people who abuse animals and tell whopper lies to sell them to unsuspecting customers are low class. I stand by what I said. Behind his back? He's welcome to read it here on the world wide web-hardly behind anyone's back! Geez. What on earth is going on with this forum? Someone please make sense today!

EDITED TO ADD: Josh, I see that you completely changed the post where you were scolding me up one side and down the other. It's a chicken related story. Where else should I tell it but BYC?

I wonder if it's a full moon today. Hmm. LOL.
