Chat Thread for the New Crazy 24 hour Auction

You mean your other half won't allow it? 

Mine doesn't like it, but I'd rather make a little bit, and someone else get chicks, than the eggs going to waste. 

my thoughts too. Oh well

I do understand his point though. We've worked hard to get nice birds. Giving them away seems a waste too.

Why??? 

guess someone else sees it as me giving them away when I don't get normal asking price

It is all supply and demand. You can't control the price the auctions end at. If you have extra eggs and no order for them, isn't it better to get something than nothing? Whoever is telling you that wouldn't get along in my house AT ALL! I am constantly giving my eggs away to friends and neighbors and nobody is going to tell me I can't. LOL

Agreed! My hubby wouldn't dream of putting limitations on what I do with our chickens/eggs, or anything else on the farm for that matter. I'm with KYTinpusher, it's better to make a little than nothing at all, especially on extras. Between family, friends and church, I've probably given away about as many as I've sold this year, and that's absolutely fine witn me. The way I see it, as long as they're at least covering their feed bill, anything else is just a bonus. I won't lie and say I don't wish one day our homesteading/farming endeavors would become a thriving business, but in the mean time I do it because I love it.

Mine would be thrilled if I auctioned everyone of them and didn't set anymore. He is not a happy greenhouse builder. LOL! 2 sides done, 2 to go and 300 chicks hatching in the next 3 weeks.

He may change his tune,
