some body please explain this to me, $100 for a rooster?

[Morgaine]

I just saw this ad on CL and cannot believe that they are asking $100 for what sounds like mutt roosters. Are these used for fighting or something?

I dont know but if they sell let me know, and I have a bunch of Mutt roos that I could ship to Texas.

don't know, but since it is now illegal in ALL 50 states *Hallelujah! it's about time!* seems to me like somebody's "smokin' rope" as the old saying goes...

thats really weird. i wrote them an email asking why they were 100 bucks.

$100?!? Thats crazy! Come over here to Waco and you can normally get them free or at least little to nothing. I see ads all the time for free roosters.

maybe a rare bloodline. who knows?, i dont see anywhere, where it says what bloodlines they are. Maybe their show chickens?. i know OEGBs that are good show qaulity can be sold for 50+ a pair. some people want 100 each chicken. maybe these people are just trying to get as much as they can from them. you never know really. and i guess it doesn't matter. its either. "should i buy them/will i buy them?. or.. Their crazy *closes the ad*"

Maybe they are just dumb.

Really though... I'd hope they were at least pretty roosters, but they're not.

I think it's Rain Man, who when asked how much a candy bar costs said "About a hundred dollars." This person doesn't know anything about anything where roosters are concerned. Can't tell what breed they are; described a "red crest"; and "long legs". Maybe he just loves his roosters and thinks they are worth $100. Around here there are signs in the feed stores advertising roosters for $8 but the $8 is drawn through and marked-down to $5.

Or maybe they meant $10. They're probably dumb, though!
