Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

It isn't Craigslist, but a regional chicken group has someone advertising "fizzled silkies" for sale.

I guess that means they have flat coats instead of fluffy?

Plop plop
Fizz fizz
Oh what a relief
It is.

Was it named Speedy, Alka or Seltzer?

Plop, swallow, gasp, faint.

No, a relief it ain't!

A Silkie for whom life is one long "bad hair day" . . . .

Yay! another gumtree user ^^

some people sell the dumbest things such as selling a cock for free as it will most likley be killed by some one

Quote: Well, with people not willing to do it themselves, I don't see a problem in someone getting a free meal out of it. Due to the nature of roosters, keeping up a 50-50 flock isn't really possible. There isn't a magical place where all the rehomed roosters of the world live forever in perfect harmony.

what's wrong with giving away free food? It's charity.

If a rescue can't afford the small amount of money it takes to obtain some chicken food (they could probably get it donated for free if they just asked the local feed store or Walmart) they have no business business being a rescue shelter as that means they likely don't have the means to feed the rest of the animals properly either...
