OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

They kinda have..my oldest Jack (6) says he's going to call one "Jill". Nick (4) says he's going to name one "soup" (daddy helped on that one!). We have 15 and the only ones I can tell apart right now are the RIR, and the SLW. I think I know which ones are BR. But the BR, Australorps and my GLW all look crazy similar.

Just don't ever hatch australorps and BCMs at the same time!!! They can be almost impossible to tell apart for ages. You'll be able to tell the others apart as soon as they start feathering out :)
 
I went to the DeGraff Auction today and came home with 4 beautiful, fluffy Speckled Sussex hens. Awesome, right? Well, I was supposed to go there to get a rooster. So, now not only am I not allowed to go to auctions without Hubs anymore (LOL), I still need a roo or cockerel. If anyone has a friendly SS or SRP roo within an hours drive of Sidney, I would be really interested. Thanks so much!

I never knew Degraff had an auction. Do you know times and dates of future auctions?

Thanks

Hi SowdersHomestead!

The DeGraff auction is the first Saturday of every month at the stockyard there. Don't remember the name of the business but it's on Koke Street and not hard to find. Starts at 9:00 a.m.

I'm glad we went. Even in February they had a decent selection and the birds all looked healthy and were crated or boxed nicely. There was one crate that was unfortunately severely overcrowded with RIRs but other than that there were no red flags.

Thankfully for as cold as it was, the birds we bought were Lot 2 and 4 and we didn't stay much longer. They had rabbits mixed in with the chickens and there was even 4 or 5 turkeys. I thought it was definitely worth our while to go to (tho to be fair, it's only a 15 minute drive for us). Our Speckled Sussex are healthy and happy and beautiful additions to our flock.

They also run all kinds of livestock in the building but I was afraid I would come home with a goat so I didn't even go in to see what was there!

All best!

Aw man! I just checked, that's a ways away from Toledo! Probably a good thing!
