i e-mailed because i too am curious. i'll post their reply if i get one.

okay... here's my response:

Thanks for your reply! I am throwing an Easter party this Saturday, and would love to "borrow" or "rent" a chick for petting, and taking pictures with, nothing more. There will be no children at this party (just adult women who love cute things), and I have no pets (dogs,cats, or anything that could hurt a chick). I would need to borrow a cage or box (whatever you usually keep them in), and whatever else the chick would need for a day (food, water bottle). I would be willing to pay you purchase price for the chick, (or whatever you think is reasonable), and would give you a deposit for the cage. I would bring the chick and cage back the next day.

My best friend wants more than anything to have a chick as a pet, and as she can't given her space constraints, we thought she could "visit" with a chick at the party instead. It would make her super happy!

Anyway, let me know if that sounds reasonable. I look forward to hearing from you!

Much better than I was thinking. Should get my mind out of the gutter. I'm thinking I'll "rent" her a couple of chicks. Could use the money.

Opinions? Think this is on the up and up?

Well, that actually sounds kind of sweet. And very responsible. At least she's not going to buy a chick at TSC and then just dump it.

... but you know ... that wouldn't stop me. i'd fall prey to the little peeping fuzzballs at the feed store, and end up buying more.

Mine was off in the gutter too!.

That response makes me feel better though.. I don't think it would hurt anything.. Rent her the ones that aren't your favorites, that way if anything happens, you really aren't out anything. Plus, you got paid for it..
