They do keep track of the seller but it wasn't the seller who done it. He must have been in a pen with other chickens, probably hens I'm guessing, and it was the buyer who did it. No way to track whoever it was down because she doesn't know what pen it originally came out of. But he is in good hands now so be was one lucky Roo. If she hadn't have found him he would have been there all next week with no one there and would have starved to death in that trash can. He was just lucky she heard him flopping around in it.

Yes, I knew it could be the buyer and not the seller who pitched him, but I figured the seller would probably remember who they sold him to.

that one came out of a bantam? it looks like a medium at least, poor girl. i have a bantam cochin i picked up tail end of summer, and i know they are a little large for bantams. Do you know if they lay eggs like that too?

M.sue :

RBahmer.....how lucky for that Roo to have you & your friend. My grandfather always said "You can judge the character of a man by the way he treats an animal". Don't know if that was his saying or if he was quoting someone else but hearing that as a child many times over & over, it's stuck in my head......sadly I've seen enough & read enough to believe the saying.

I believe that quote came from Paul McCartney.​

They auction them off. A lot of sellers don't even stick around. They just get their check sent to them.

Lol. That post made me laugh. Some people are really dumb. Australops lay brown eggs. I have four of them. I have some leghorns that lay white eggs and I can't sell them for the life of me. I have a guy that buys all my brown eggs and all my blue/green eggs but will not touch my white ones. He re-sells them and says people will not buy them because they are too much like store bought ones. Go figure.

had to read that twice! thought for a minute you were being mean about the egg question... should've known better!

changed my avatar... Do you like it? The hen and roo are modeled after my chunky lap hen and my lucky plucky, who walks around like he's Don Juan himself

i liked my other pic, but for some reason it looked like i was glaring at the camera!

there now you can see it better. i wanted it to express "family". Mom helping baby, and daddy watching over. i want to outline it in brick color, but i ran out of paint and $$$

outdoor paint has shot up, hasn't it???

Oh heavens no. I am not a mean person. I would never be like that especially about eggs or chickens. There are a lot of things I still don't know.

she is! i wondered if anyone could tell!

How is it that chickens are so cuddly?
I have a d'uccle bantam that my children raised. She is a lap chicken and follows me around and loves to be held.

I have 2 young Isa Browns. I raised them this Fall and I never picked them up and held them. I did not want them to be as needy as the d'uccle.
Sure enough, when I sit in the yard they are right next to me talking away to me in a strange voice that is half chick and half hen. One of them has started to sit on my leg.
I am a chicken magnet!
