Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

[Painted Calls]

It's a rather decent ad... Except for the price and a couple of spelling errors. I could see writing that ad actually. The price is a bit out there though... If they're show-quality American or English, then the pricing is more reasonable. Even if they were a special color, the pricing would be better there, and not what it is. Most I'd go on a pullet at that age would be $15 to the right seller. (Reading the ad, I would say the person is a breeder and might be breeding quality.)

I posted it for the bread, the Americans, and the EEs.

I laughed out loud omg. Different post but from the same person: " no I will not drop the price. Feed and maintenance costs money."

Bresse chickens are unique and rather rare. They are supposed to be the most delicious chickens to eat, though I've never eaten one, and don't think I ever would. However, the price for a dozen Bresse eggs does not seem to be out of the market range. See these ads;
1. Hilltop Farms (I believe it's $10/egg = $120/dozen)
2. Bresse Farms seriously undercuts this, though at $45/dozen
3. Better with Thyme is still a bit cheaper, but in that range, at $40/half dozen, or $75/dozen
4. Pivot Farms with fertile eggs, charges exactly $50 for a half dozen
5. Greenfire Farms (the original importer, I think), charges $12/egg, or $144 for a dozen.

Murray hatchery sells them for less than $7 a chick.

This guy's been trying to sell gamefowl for $4, nearly every day, for nearly a month. Insists they're not on sale. Seems both defensive and desperate to get rid of them.

DE, pumpkin seeds, ACV, EVOO, red pepper flakes… all this stuff adds up, Mare!
