Well today has been a day of good news.
My 16 month old son finally seems to be getting better. His fever disappeared after his nap this morning! He's still fussy and clingy, but at least he isn't still burning up.
And I got the check from the livestock auction and it isn't anywhere near as bad as I thought. I thought my trios had sold for $9 and $8 a box. Except the bidding price wasn't per box, it was per head. So the Delawares sold for $27 and the New Hampshires sold for $24. After the auction took their bit (25% + $1 per box), I got $36.25. Which really isn't near what the birds are worth, BUT much better than the $10.25 I thought I would be getting. I was hoping to at least buy another bag of feed with the proceeds. This covers a bit less than 1.5 bags of feed. So I'm happier about my experience. Not thrilled, but I feel much better about the whole thing.
