Poultry auctions are full of people who view themselves as "poultry experts". I walked around this poultry auction listening to these experts - "that one has worms"..."worms"..."probably has worms". Being someone who has taken in egg layers and neglected chickens for more than ten years, I can just look at the hen in this image and tell you she has egg yolk peritonitis. She is full of infected fluid and is in pain, yet someone put her in this auction to be sold and someone would have purchased her and not known about eyp, which means she'll suffer and die an awful death.
If you are going to breed and sell and show chickens, learn everything about their health. In my experience, the people who want to make money off animals actually know the least about animals.
