I know! I have quite the visual going here! I wonder if they are flighty? That could get ugly!

these are show quality chickens that are about a month and a half old the only reason for selling is that we have waaaaaaay to many! we are asking one dollar each and we have seven available if you want all of them we will take $5 for the group! contact me via text or call at 812xxxxxxxx

Now the reason this one amuses me, is because these are not "show quality" chickens.

I know this, because I hatched them from my birds. lol These people bought a bunch of extra young roos I had, and I think maybe by the next day they had listed them for sale. They didn't specify "show quality" in that first posting, but did say they'd be good for 4-H or something, which I think they would. I think they also specified that they were all roosters the first time, this time they didn't...I don't know if they're just trying to get more interest by not stating that up front or if they're trying to sell them as not roosters. lol

My birds are not bad birds, but my stock came from hatcheries, so the "show quality" sales pitch amuses me.

It is bad enough they lack proper capitalization, punctuation, spelling and grammar...but the thing that got me was the 5lb white bantam! What???

How difficult is it really to hit the shift or caps button when typing "I"? It drives me BONKERS!!!

Hey give them some credit - they did spell "bantams", "wyandotte" and "incubator" correctly. We've certainly seen those mangled more than a few times!
