wanted a rooster for my hen if you have any email me and if you can send a pic *A picture? Why would they need a picture, I ask you? Are they trying to set up a rooster dating service? Is it a really particular hen? Does she prefer white roosters, yellow roosters, or what?*

Who happens to have photographs of roosters laying around? Does this person want a "sexy" shot, or just a school picture?

*Or is this just some sicko out to fuck a chicken?

*You tell me.*

And sadly enough, no, this was not the only chicken-related post on CL, which is SUPPOSEDLY supposed to cover a metro area:

We got ahead of ourselves and got 10 chickens(6 chicks, 2 hens and 2 roosters) they all get along, but we haven't built the coop yet.

*Isn't this like getting a cat without a litter box? A baby without a cradle? Are you a person without a brain, perhaps?*


We'd been keeping them in the laundry room, then the garage, now in 2 old dog houses on our 25 acre property.
We'd like to get the coop done but just don't have time/energy with 4 kids.

*Right, you have no time and no energy with four kids, so...you get 10 fucking chickens, but don't have time to pick up a coop! Boy, aren't you a genius?*

Do you have a coop that you just want to get rid of, email me at or call me hm cell.

*Well, Bertha, wouldn't you know it, I do - In fact, I SPECIFICALLY GOT ON CRAIGSLIST hoping some nice slob of a person like you would be interested and could take it off my hands, because I ate all of my chickens, and therefore no longer need the coop.*

I can pick it up. *Oh, sure you can, sweetheart.* Just try not to accidentally throw the chickens into the laundry and make McNuggets.
