Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

I have devised a list of "to dos" for my first buy sell trade.
Please provide feed back as I do not want to be put in the same catagory as that craigs list poster... (you really hope this person is just parreting what they have been told)

This is my list for my first BST:
#1 - Let the seller know that this is a cull from my breeding line.
#2 - If you have parent photos or information on the family line of the bird includes as many details as you have. (Don't just say you have JG from "Golla Miller" line)
#3 - Have your SOP or your working sheets handy to show why it has become a cull.
#4 - Call a spade a spade. If the bird does not have the essential characteristics of the breed, it is a mutt and call it that.
#5 - Have your Bio on your breeding history ready .... This way you are straightforward and honest. (2 minute infomercial.... name, time breeding and why)

Have I gotten everything folks?
Thanks
Patricia

So would people on CL buy your culls? I do have some culls that I want to move, nothing major faulted but otherwise healthy birds - just not show type... maybe good breeding for people who want cheap marans for olive eggers or even eating eggs etc. , but with a small program I have to cull hard.
