Yes, I do know better, but in my all out effort to find a place for Lucky two, I thought worth a try?????
Posted ad at 12:25, PM, first response at 12:27 PM hardly enough time to actually read the ad, never mind deciding if you need chickens in you life?
So far 8 replies .......... where are you located? although the general area is right in the ad...... no questions about the chickens,
2 replies offering less money, 1 bemoaning lack of money.
Only 2 replies had actual question regarding the chickens.
I am somewhat mystified about the location question, anybody has had that kind of response before?
Frankly at this point I am not sure I will respond to any of these. :iheartpto:

From experience, if I'm in the app using kijiji the location sometimes isn't shown, but when I check the web version it is. It's inconsistent.

Personally, I would only reply to the ones you're comfortable with, or the appropriate ones, like ones about the chicken.

Hahaha! yes. I sold all my Red Sex-links last fall. A guy from Quebec called me and asked if they were pure bred and what colour eggs do they lay. He was intent on me telling him my address. Ended up selling them to local people and delivering them. To many people get livestock stolen around here. Be careful OC.

London police offered their parking lot this week specifically for kijiji transactions. Recommended daytime so the cameras work better....

What Ross said. Don't reply to anyone only interested in where you are located.

I feel like I have entered some netherworld, it must have gotten worse, I don't remember things being this bad when Kijiji started.

It wasn't. It is now, unfortunately.
