I was reading another forum and there was a discussion on sick birds being sold at auctions and sales. What are your opinions on this?

I do not think anyone that has birds that are healthy should have to treat them with antibiotics before a sale, seems wrong to me, almost like they are trying to make the bird well enough to get through the sale and then fair game for crashing once at the new owner's place. Also feeding medications to a bird then selling it without telling the new buyers seems wrong as well, what if they were to start collecting eggs right away or even butcher the birds? Should they not know withdrawls ahead of time?We announced that we wanted only healthy animals and suggested that people put thier flocks on SuperBooster for at least a few days before the sale
