 You can get good info from some of the sellers and no info from some and the wrong info from others. I always tell what the bird is the age and if I know the sex, if I dont know the sex I dont put anthing on the box. The birds I send there are heathy but I will till you I wont buy from there ever. A lot of people send old birds there and and sick birds there.  Just my 2 cents  what are you looking for maybe some one here could help you with what you want..  

Hi, I have French Black Copper Marans (love them), English Orpingtons :(colors Blue, Balck and Splash) they are so sweet. Oh also Cream Legbars :that lay nice blue eggs. We will be offering eggs and chicks from all of them just PM me to get on the list for which one youd like. We also have a few sweet Dairy goats ( Nubians and Toggs)

I'm behind on posts, so if you already posted "thank you".  If not, would you please post the pie recipe?  Thanks so much!

Here's a humongous egg our barred rock, Amelia, laid for us a week or so back...Either that or a stray velociraptor broke into the coop and left it!  Poor Amelia!  We gave her extra mealworms after that one.

At that rate I will just need to say a few special words before working with the girls because there is just no way I can buy the pen!!!! 

 

Two of my kids and I carry them.  I had to buy a bigger purse to hold all of 'em!  I have to carry 2 of my own with me all the time.   What really sux... you have to replace them every year.  Why are those things so expensive?  It is simply rediculous.  I have a gallon-sized bag full of "expired" epi pens that I have to take to the Police Station to dispose of.  I will be trashing $1,920.00 worth of epi pens.  When you look at it that way, it is pretty sad.

Also FYI the sale at Enumclaw is a lot different than either of the 2 in Chehalis. See at the Chehalis sales the birds are in sale cages so you can "preview" . At Enumclaw they pull the bird out of the box show it and sell right then.

I do take birds to sales. I don't normally add any info about the bird. I do not knowingly sell ill birds.

I would not buy at one of these kind of sales but IF a person does choose to. Remember it is ALWAYS BUYER BEWARE !!!

I'd hate to think of you needing that pen and not having it. Did you look on Amazon and Craigslist? hu.gif

 

Anybody have an extra?

 

CR.. if you want 'em, I have expired ones.  I don't know if you want to use them.  I just got new ones for my kids - I know my oldest has one at school that expires in October.  I could swap it out early and mail it to you.  My oldest son uses the adult dose.  My daughter uses 1/2 strength.

I don't think I would want to buy from there.  I know my Silkie boys were young and healthy, and nice quality.  I can only hope that they went somewhere they would be cared for, and not eaten.  But DH and I knew that once we brought them to auction it was out of our hands. I had them on Craigslist for nearly 2 weeks and although the first few birds went quickly, I couldn't find homes for these others. sad.png

Wife of one tolerant DH, Mom to Lily - a wonderful WSU college junior, Pomeranian Dasher, two cats, Ali and Dorian, and one Cockatiel. 

RIP Sweet Gryffin - our perfect Golden boy.
