Not holding my breath. Most have no idea there is a difference. Some folks think all chicks hatch out yellow. It's insane.I wish people understood the difference between birds and good birds
When I asked the last person if she had a quarantine place for the pair so they weren't just thrown in with her other 14 immediately, she sounded (I know, can't hear inflection on the web) a bit put off, said she'd been around animals her whole life, raised on a farm, so yes she did. I told her, wonderful, there were so many levels of experience, I had to ask. What I didn't say was there are old farmers who still have no idea about quarantine, never heard of such a thing. You can raise chickens for 20 years and still be clueless about disease and disease prevention and be surprised by pecking order issues.
I'm sure I'll be told it's none of my business what their setup looks like. Well, yes, it is if you want my chicks. It is my business if you throw them out in the backyard, expect them to roost in the trees and they're killed the first night by raccoons. If you are that defensive, you can get chickens elsewhere.
and I'll just add
