Thank you for the clarification. You've just helped me re-think how I'm going to go about selling birds ... I've got some ducks to sell, and might be selling a lot of chickens, too, depending on if/how I decide to reorganize things here. I'd really like to move away from hatchery birds, and that would mean buying from local breeders, which will mean a whole other learning curve. And I would have to count on people giving me good recommendations about where to get the birds.
For selling the ducks, instead of inviting people to my bird area, I will put any birds I want to sell in a portable pen well away from the rest of the flocks. I'm not sure how to decide about letting someone handle the birds to inspect them ... I hate to be a jerk about it, but I would rather be a jerk than be a victim.
that is just so sad that someone would call that fun.
