1. Surely you jest. It depends on the treatment. Live chickens are worth more than
dead ones.

3. Road kill cash gets you lowest tier services. Live chickens top tier services. n/t

9. OK, I missed all this
what is all this about paying for medical services with chickens? Or is it bartering in general is now in?

Can someone tell me what this is all about?

10. That raises an interesting issue
Are substitutions allowed? How many CE's (chicken equivalents) for a possum?

11. I agree. How many sparrows make up a chicken? There are lots of them around me.
How about corn, seeds and bugs? The doctors will need to feed their chickens. We're going to have to start a new government agency overseeing all of the different animals going to doctors. And a new standard will have to be adopted, like 10 sparrows = 1 chicken. 25 mice = 2 chickens. 100 chickens = 1 cow and so on.

Trading services will also be adopted, like painting the doctor's house. But if I go in to see the doctor with a broken leg how can I paint his house if I can't walk?

TRUE STORY: Last Saturday I was moving a chair in the living room and two very young possum slowly walked under my end table. They must have walked through the cat door to eat their food. I gently coaxed them outside and gave them food and water. Possum are such gentle creatures. I would never bring one to a doctor, unless it was a vet to have it treated. But that raises another question. Why will the vet take for payment? People? Soylent Green? Oh my god, it's come to this!
