What do you think? Am I too picky?

[IttyBittyBirdy]

I've had people message me from Craigslist asking to buy some ducklings because they've lost them to a predator/dog, if I ask if the predator/dog issue has been fixed, and it's not, I refuse to sell them any.
When people are inquiring, I ask about the pen, duck house, etc.
I've had people message actually asking me if I could FREEZE them for reptile or dog food.
I've been told I'm too picky.
But following my religious beliefs and my own personal beliefs, I just cannot allow myself to sell ducklings to someone who is essentially providing fodder to the wildlife/dogs, or trying to house them in a house that's basically a buffet to the wildlife. (At those people who buy ducks to replace without actually mitigating the issue.)
These are the first and LAST ducklings I have hatched and will sell.
So what do you guys think?

I think you are doing an admirable job of upholding your principles.

Same. I think, if you are going to bring these animals into the world, the least you could do is make sure they will be safe and well cared for in their new homes. I think you are doing a very good job.

They’re your ducklings so you can choose who you sell them to or not.

Just don’t be shocked if they don’t sell or find a new home because you need to find the right person. It’s a catch 22...

There’s no such thing as being too picky when you’re the seller. You just need the right buyer to come along.

That's exactly it!
I can't allow myself to sell ducklings to a possibly unsafe home if I have a couple rescue animals of my own who have come from less than stellar situations.

I will keep searching until they find new homes, and if not, I guess I need a coop addition.

There's nothing wrong with being too picky! You do what you need to do to make sure they go to good home!
