Here's a funny (?) story to illustrate your point: We had a family close by that decided they needed to raise ducks. One of their children couldn't have chicken eggs, but duck eggs were fine. They ordered their ducks very early in the spring. When they arrived, there were 6 chickens in with the ducks. They called back to inquire "Why the chickens?".

The company replied that baby ducks don't ship well in the cooler weather, so they include "free of charge" baby roosters to keep them warm. It is up to the customer to decide how to deal with the extra baggage........
