Pretty lame omission, but being white your choices are a bit limited.

Rabbits:
Himalayan
Flemish Giant
New Zealand
Mini Rex
Hotot
Britannia Petite
Californian
...and I'm sure there's more, but that's what I could think of.

Goats:
Saanen
Cashmere
Angora
Boer (sort of)
...and more, I'm sure.

Don't forget Kiko goats (my favorite breed

)! They come in all sorts of colors, but solid white is the most common.

Since it's only $8, I'm willing to bet they're selling a rabbit. A one year old doe (goat) is worth about $100. But still, I wish some people had better descriptions.

Looking for a few laying hens (Canajoharie)

I just built a nice size coop and have everything but the chickens!! Looking for a couple nice, friendly hens. Not really looking to pay a fortune for them. I spent my fortune building the coop.

Just hoping someone has a few extra hens that they would sell cheap to a great pet only home!

I can't quite put my finger on why this ad bothers me. But it does.

Maybe it is the fact that they "spent a fortune" on the coop but put afterthought into the chickens they will be getting. Oh well.

Mustange/quarter horse 21 years old (Hardwick )

Date: 2011-05-11, 10:43PM EDT


Suzie is a 21 year old gental mare, and is 14.5 hands. Good with the vet and farrier. Great pasture mate and good ground work, but needs an intermediate rider. Has never kicked or bitten anyone, currently lives at a theraputic community. she is looking for a forever home, because the owner is going off to collage. Price hoping for is $500



why don't people just spell check? Mustange? Gental? (but they can spell farrier?) theraputic? and collage? Anyway.. i thought it was funny.

Another failure to use spell check or they also have 2 moths for sale too!

And I've always wanted a horse that was 14.5 hands... all the horses I've ever known have skipped from 14.3 to 15 hands, they just seem to actually believe in the 4 inches in a hand rule.​

This was in response to all the scamers we have in our area. There really was an add for someone wanting a new truck free a couple of weeks ago and they were serious

There have been a lot of arrests lately because of people scamming and taking advantage of good natured people around here lately.​

LOL, I was looking at this like, what is the matter? I see nothing wrong. But probably because I know they were goats.

Why do I have the feeling that this horse has attitude issues? It's owner has Capitalization issues.

Or the fact that it is only one dollar.
