craftyhunnypie Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Have a look at this please. I was having a look at chickenalia on ebay. It's item number 330152479256. I thought it was a bit grotty and I don't see any actual nesting area. It doesn't look like the birds are well cared for as if you go to the last photo - photo 6, what is wrong with the bird on the perch? Her comb looks that floppy that it covers her beak. I wouldn't have thought that was a healthy bird? What do you all think? It upset me a bit. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangers Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Tis worth putting a bid in just for the chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yes I know - I do wish someone with a heart on here would do that just to rescue the chooks! The poor little luvvies. I'd do it myself as not too far from me, but I haven't got any other accomodation for chooks & my new 3 are on order for when my cube comes. Then the mk2 will be used for pekins. Plus, I don't want that wooden house anywhere near me, I reckon it's riddled with mites! Oh I do hope someone will rescue them.

buffie Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think it's been reported or pulled. I would report any live animals free or for sale on ebay. It's not allowed for good reason. Well spotted, BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 hmmm shame it is so far from me. If I won I would turn up with my cat carriers, take the chooks and leave him with a box of matches to burn the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The poor birds, they are probely crawling with mites. If we hadnt just got 6 chickens i would have put a bid in shame i didnt know about it earlier. I feel really guilty now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think it's been reported or pulled. I would report any live animals free or for sale on ebay. It's not allowed for good reason. Well spotted, BBx It still looks like a running auction to me, but it will be pulled soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I just did a search Buff, & it came up right away. I have reported it, as I do if I ever see hens for sale or "given away free" with a hen house. I did feel for these poor little things though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330152479256&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D330152479256%26fvi%3D1 If it isn't off already, it will be in a couple of hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Oh I wish I was closer and could drive as I could take them on....just with alittle juggling. (If anyone gets the urge and can't resist the rescuing thembut can't have them I'll look after them if you could drop them off here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 It really pulls at your heartstrings doesn't it! I think one is a vorwerk isn't it - lovely looking bird - it would be such a shame if it or any of them had mites - but I'm pretty sure they all will have. He's more or less spelt that out saying could do with being treated for mites! Terrible, absolutely terrible! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well done Sarah, no idea why I couldn't do it I guess they are selling the hens really but wanted to find a way round saying that, so house plus free hens. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I've just had a look and it looks like it has been taken off sale which is good. I would have liked to have known where they were though so I could have rescued them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladylucan Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have just seen it , it is discusting, those poor chickens, nothing to rake around in. That is not an idea situation for them, and hopefully they will be rescued. If only i lived nearer!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 has anyone emailed him yet to see what he is doing with the chooks, ?, He may want to give them away if he has no house to put them in?, x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
