The 'Ever Changing' Craigslist story

Well, if you just never buy started birds from anyone, as is my own strict policy, including Craigslist, Freecycle, flea markets or auctions, you avoid all the pitfalls of that, including disease issues (or murderers) you may bring home with you.

I must admit, that is the very first time I've ever seen chickens spelled with a "g" in it, two at that.

We just got 17 chickens saturday bc we needed more layers and this lady was super nice. She was only selling bc she had to get her house on the market :/

I know! Its very dangerous.

sounds like a scam where they are trying to get your address so they can come rob you. Take care and be careful.

Sounds like that to me too..... Something shady at least, maybe trying to get some free chickens.....

Occasionally I sell roosters on Craigslist before taking them to a feed store for sale...but I dont buy....

Some people wish to eat a free lunch is what I am getting from this ad or looking to take over someone else's chicken operation but not wanting to break the bank doing so. I see ocasionally someone who has to rehome their chickens either do to relocation or other reasons so I am sure if someone needs to get rid of their flock for a temparary health reason (or perhaps military deployment or similar situation) they would rather be the one calling than be bombarded with emails and phone calls

I sell on CL all the time. I am tested with the State and give buyers a copy of my paperwork.

But I do not have my phone number or address in the ad, I have to talk to them by email a couple of times to see if I want them coming to my house.


But I don't sell chiggens either
