They told me they're off to Kentucky and will cut the checks when they get back to expect them sometime in November.
I was shocked at how much some hens were going for!

Since it is a fundraiser people usually are willing to spend more on birds. As for your payment, you could have collected it yesterday. Did you see a long line forming near a table next to the barn entrance? That's where you go if you want to pick up your money that day. Otherwise they will mail it to you. I have always waited the day of auction so I don't know how long it will take to mail it out.I stayed for the whole thing. It lasted about 3 hours and 45 minutes. It was getting mighty chilly towards the end, but every item was sold. There were easily over 300 items, possibly 400 items there. I bid on a few things, and eventually got the large kennel I needed. There were some hens that went as high as $60 I do believe, but I'm not sure if there was anything that went higher. There were a handful of people that spent 100s of dollars each though. I brought 4 silkies, 3 that I believed to be boys and 1 girl, and I offered to label the boxes indicating as such when I dropped them off. I was told the auctioneer was smart and he could figure it out. Well, every single one of my silkies was sold as a hen, and mine weren't the only ones sold as girls either. I understand why he did what he did, but I was disappointed that he duped folks. They brought in good money though, a lot more than I thought. Does anyone know when to expect payment? I forgot to ask.
I'm thinking about attending (not entering) The Boston Poultry Expo on Nov. 1 in North Oxford. I was going to go last year but something came up. Is anyone else thinking of going? http://www.bostonpoultryexpo.com If so, I could start a new thread.
Were there any Game Birds (Pheasant, Quail etc) there by chance?
I have never gone to the auction.
What kind of "Kennel" did you win?
Thanks!
Mike
