Little Ameraucana Mom , at Dinky's the small animals are sold by the cage or box full so if it's 3 rabbits or 5 chickens you are bidding on the entire box (cage full) plus they charge you per head so if it's as the earlier example you will bid lets say $3 you win it at that bid you will buy all 3 at $3 each, that being said I have seen once in the same seller brought in 2 boxes of Peking duck chicks 6 or 7 in one cardboard box and 9 or 10 in another they set both on the block (a spinning table they use to help show the animals while in cages (not much help really)) and let the bidding start and asked the winner chose 1 or both boxes then the next highest the bidder anyone else if they wanted it. usually there is an announcement if it is choice of box/pen or for both, I really think it depends on how business is going that night (probably you will see choice of box but I won't say never on multiple box bids, because I don't go there often enough to see a REAL slow night in the small animal ring area). what others have posted in this forum on the other stuff they sell there at dinky's the quality of some of the stuff sold has really gone down this time I went I think it's the economy, because there is more leftover yard sell type boxes of stuff I saw. not I replaced x with something new. animals though look about the same quality.
