Need to vent about selling birds...

What Dawn said. There are crazy people on Craigslist! If they come out to your place they could carry all sorts of diseases with them, plus they know where you live and what hens you have. Wouldn't be hard to come back when you are gone and help themselves.

I meet in a very public place to sell chickens. It's like internet dating. Don't go someplace private and let someone know where you are going.

We have a lot of people who com eover here from CL but I have a few guard/attack dogs and my brother is next to the front door at all times. I also have a cell just in case. So far things have been easy. Same guy who bought my oprintons last year is picking up my EE roo and I told him that in a few months I should have some hens that I want to thin down.

Just give the CL buyer the bio-security speech and don't let then near your coop!

That made me think of the day this neighbor wanted our German Shepard to breed with his female. I told this guy NO at least 50 times. I kept telling him.. " I am not a breeder, my dog will be fixed. If you would like to contact the breeder, I'll gladly give you her number." The guy didn't get it.
The next day, he went to my DH. He said the same thing. Your wife is being a B----. I want to breed your dog with mine. I'll give you 1500 dollars. My DH just looked at him and started laughing. He said..." You'll have to convince her. She runs this household, and she is the boss. GOOD LUCK."

The guy never bothered me again.

Yep

I never have to worry. He's got my back. I'm from New England, and lived in NYC for a bit too. I tend to say it like it is. He's from the Mid West, and is a little more polite than me at times
