[draye]

Okay how many are going to the auction tomorrow 3-28-15?

It starts at 12:00 noon. Saline County Fairgrounds.

I'm going Lord willing I make it through the night. Taking 3 dozen hatching egg. Taking along about 6 roosters from my cousins place just down from me.

Hope to see many there.

Sorry I couldn't make it to Saline.

I may be headed to the London Auction Saturday the 4th. I still have 3 roo's that need a new home.

Bantam cochin, frizzle (tiny) bantam cochin & a white silkie roo.

I have some interest in them but if they are not gone by Saturday, they are going to auction.

Lion head rabbits bucks only there today if I remember right brought about $40.00 each.

Golden Pheasents brought $55.00 to $60.00.

Yeah for you! Hope you made good money.

No not for me. All I took was 6 roosters for some one else. I took for myself 3 dozen hatching eggs and got only $2.00 a dozen for them. I bought too many hatching eggs for myself so I didn't gain anything. Boo for me.

I think it is great to get it done! I hear bad things about certain peoples birds and won't buy from them... versus if you had a NPIP certification I'd feel better buying from you (that you don't have sick/diseased birds).

All NPIP is is the same test you get from a sake barn. It doesn't guarantee free from any other diease. The test is only for Pollurim Thyphoid ( a form if Samonella). So even NOIO is not any better. You just have to look everything over and make sure there aren't any signs of something else wrong.

I myself think NPIO is overrated.

Chicken math!

Have you heard if shipping birds out of state is still a go right now with the AI? I have a lady in PA that wants my silkie roo. I hate to ship that far but if he gets a good home.

 

[Puddin Fluff]

What are your thoughts on vaccinations for Mereks? The lady who wants my roo is all freaked out about it and she is very new to chickens and I feel she needs talked off the ledge a bit.

Haven't heard anything much else about it. The Poultry Department at UA ( Dr. Bramwell) may know though.

I think it is more if shipping in than out. Never hurts to ask someone lik Dr. Bramwell though.

I was going to call the PO on Monday to see if they have set any restrictions. Was it you who said Dr. Bramwell was not giving out eggs until things clear up or did I hear that from someone else?
