Of course this is none of my business, but if I were you I would be concerned 
about this tractor.  First, at least where I live, this tractor should be 
worth a lot more than they are asking.  Second, if it really is low hours and 
has been shedded, it should not have bad tires.  I would suspect that someone 
has used this tractor very hard in the past.  Third, these peole are so 
intent on getting rid of this machine, they will even deliver it.  I smell a 
rat somewhere.

Time for your due diligence. Research that model within a two hundred  
mile radius and learn the price range.

Do you have a way to transport the tractor?

That page lists the substances that are the base for egg color.  I never
would have guessed that about hemoglobin, but it makes perfect sense.

Confirming and additional information about bird health here:
