Oooooooooooooh, what are you going to have?! I've been wanting to goto the auction its only 30 minutes from here (my sister lives in Clayton off Main St). Wasn't going to go soon since I have a broody in the quarentine pen, and no where to put a new bird I pick up. Have to think on that.

EXCITING!

Morning everyone!

Newhomesteader - we are so on the same page with possible chickens! Our lists are pretty much exactly the same!

Bhep - I've checked out the auction a few weeks ago just for fun, but got there pretty late and had both my little ones with me, so really just stood back and watched and enjoyed the action. But I was wondering - if you get there nice and early do you get a chance to check everything out before the auction starts and find out a little more about where the different chickens are coming from? It made me a little nervous as a newbie thinking about not knowing anything about the birds history and all. Any tips??? And what all are you taking to sell today?

Can't go this week - gotta work on my coop! But it was so much fun we'll definitely be going back!

Thanks and enjoy this gorgeous day everybody!!!

Good morning all.

Had a mini photo shoot with my new English Orp babies this morning. Talk about wide load and only one day old!!!

These are just some amazing chicks and there personalities already are just unbelievable.

I think I have a few more of them going into lockdown again on Tuesday.

They are all from the group that I have been showing and doing well with. I am so proud of my boy Biggie!

The big difference will be the building. Morganton's building is more then twice the size of Winston's. There will be plenty of room inside for everyone to stay out of the rain.

Beware of buying from auctions, you do get some rogue sellers at them. Also, you will need to quarantine your birds forat least 30 days before introducing them to any other birds. If possible look to buy from people on here or from recommendations from BYCer's.

We purchased our Barred Rocks from a local so was able to see where they came from. Our birds are very healthy and good layers, we get 4 eggs a day.......

what types are you looking for?
