I'm sure I already went over this but, I want to thin my little flock by probably 5 girls and a roo. The roo is a partridge cochin age around 6 months. The girls (4 RIR and 1 NHR) are almost 5 mo old. The girls haven't put on their full combs and wattles yet. I thought it might be better to re-home the less mature girls because they haven't started to lay here yet so it might be easier for them to learn the ropes before they start here. Yah yah yah, also I'm closer to my girls who've started laying because I hang out in the coop and we "talk". Gee, it'd be hard to give up the ones who seek me out to chat and lean against me when I pet them. The less mature ones aren't as warm and fuzzy, so to speak, as the ones I have more in common with since we've "laid our eggs". lol

So do you all think it'd be unreasonable either way (high or low) to try to get $12-$15 for the girls. No idea what I might ask for for the roo. He's certainly sexually motivated! Would $10 be about right? I have no clue. Hopefully one of my neighbors might take a few of the girls. I need to decide about this so I can get this done before the weather gets colder and they're spending more time inside.

Thanks!

I'm not going to try and find this within the 85 pages so about the swap/sale/auction at Yates Center this Saturday. Where, when and do they charge to attend? If so how much? Will there be concessions? We have to eat! I may bring my granddaughter Maddy, aka my Chicken Bud, and see what it's all about. Sounds like a "road trip!!!" which = fun!!
 
The sale is at the Woodson Co Sheep Sale Barn in Yates center. I hope that means it's at the fairgrounds (logical enough) because that ought to be simple to find. Couldn't find a map showing the sale barn location so the fair grounds it is. I'm excited to be taking my two granddaughters. Road trip!!!!! Yee ha!!
 
I really hate when people say this, but "You can't miss it."

We set the GPS and it took us right past and back out on the highway where we had to turn around and head back. You could tell others were using GPS units as well as they were also turning at the same spot. It was kind of funny.

Right as we hit town, there were livestock buildings and a million cars and as we drove past I told DS, bet that's were it's at. Yep, that's were it is. Someone else can correct if I'm wrong, but from my memory it was right along the main highway/street through town on the west side of town. South side of the highway.
 
There was a summer TV show called "The Glades," and one of the episodes focused on the use of a GPS (that sent them the wrong way) in the discovery of a body in the Everglades. I know mine has sent me the wrong way occasionally, but more often it is spot on accurate.
 
I like mine and short of the Yates Center trip, I always end up eventually where I set out to go. As far as I know, the point in the highway it sends you to for Yates Center is what is listed as the right spot. Don't know.


My thing with GPS is not that it is wrong, but that it will not generally route you as a local would. Like for the State Fair, they all seem to route through South Hutch vs Yoder. I often find it routes me along the "truck routes", same as my DH does. For me at least, the truck routes have been designed for the townsfolk convenience vs the truckers.

I like it, I use it, but I still use my best judgment and find it mostly ignored in more familiar areas. I couldn't drive anywhere around KC without it though.
