Is it rude to ask for pics?

[Chicabee19]

I responded to an ad by email. The place is 45 min drive from here, so I asked if she had any pictures of the birds and their coop, and explained it was quite a drive to come out and check things out.

I assumed that was ok to do, and a pretty normal thing.

I got a sort of deadpan response: "go look at some hatchery pics"

Was I out of line to ask?

No, not out of line. They just sound too lazy to provide real pictures.

I'd go check them out if you want to continue doing business with them.

I think the person was rude! How are hatchery pics going to show you exactly what kind of condition their chickens are in. What a dolt! I think you were definitely right to ask to see pics.

If someone isn't willing to provide you with pictures of their birds, they probably aren't worth a 45 minute drive!!

Now THAT's FUNNY, considering some of the pics we've seen of 'im !!!

Um, that was downright rude! I can't even think of what to say! Forget them! Geez.

That was completely fine to ask. In fact, I'd ask if they had ever had illness in their flock. Talk about then being insulted! But it's a legit question and so was your request.
