Is it just me, or is the market flooded with BCMs...

I am thinking that alot of "normal' people (not chickenfreaks like us lol) mostly buy chickens in the spring and summer. Some people don't like to add to the flock in the winter months.

We have a livestock auction on saturday mornings.. i can get chickens for$2 each! a lot of people go to the auction to buy chickens to eat.. roosters today were going for $25!! I bought 4 frizzles for $4each..
i'd say hunt down an auction near you, and take them there!

E-bay was FLOODED with BCM eggs this year. Now bids have slowed. Guess everybody got their brooder pens full.

If I was closer, I would probably take a look, too, because I was hoping to start a line of Marans. (Was hoping to do Wheatens, but after learning there is a lot of trouble with the lines, I may have to pass.) If they weren't even close to standard or something I could work with to better the line, I probably wouldn't buy them for the same reason as above.
