Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Poor woman . How does someone steal that many birds ? What lowlives . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruth1 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 That's terrible, it's obviously been planned. Chickens are becoming so popular now they've probably been taken to order. She must be devastated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new chick Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 How terrible. She must be devastated. Some people are very cruel, but where there is a market, people go to any means to supply. Sounds like stolen to sell on. Poor chicks. I will keep an eye out for these in Local papers, free papers and Bird Mags. NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brown Clan Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 How awful , Hope they are found and returned to her soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 How sad for her . Lisa and John at Garden Poultry had 250 pure breed hens/cockerels stolen from them in one night a couple of months ago. Fortunately they caught the guy who stolen them, but the birds where in such awful condition, Lisa and John refused to take them back. These criminals will very easily steal birds in these numbers, so please be vigilant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
