That link just takes me to generic FB marketplace site, where, bizarrely enough, puppies are listed for sale! Why is that bizarre? Because FB doesn’t allow animal sales! They are so strict I not only can’t sell hatching eggs there anymore, but I can’t sell table eggs either! How in the world did an ad labeled, “puppies for sale” with a listed price of $25 manage to make it past the algorithms that won’t allow words like “egg” “keet” “chick”, and my favorite red flag word I’ve been reprimanded for “tick”!!!

There's a reason I don't use Facebook.

I don't either; that's a hot mess I left years ago.But one can look at marketplace w/o joining, which I do every now and then.

Hot, hot mess. No thank you. BYC is as "social media" as I get.

I wonder if you’re actually searching archived listings since you aren’t logged on? I will occasionally see some eggs get through the filters for awhile before they are taken down. When I search “guinea fowl” on marketplace I get Knick knacks and feathers. Looks like I should be gathering poor Muddy’s feathers up and selling them…

Goodness, I should sell feathers too! I have them blowing around the yard all year

"Native American tribes saw them as great protectors. A single feather would bring comfort and protection to a warrior. Everywhere the guinea hen has gone, she has been recognized for her willingness to stay alert, work hard, and confront danger."
......so we just tell ppl it's like a lucky rabbit's foot or upside down horseshoe ....

This description reminds me of the image I keep thinking for for Mud Pie: Little but Fierce

(Officially the statue is Fearless Girl, I believe)

I clicked the link and all it pulled up was a few cars, and a 4wheeler.

I typed in guinea fowl- that and all kinds of eggs popped up.
