You would be welcome anytime. The flock has good bloodlines and I'm definitely hooked on Cochins.

We have 2 grown blue wheaten Roos, but DD won't let me get rid of them. I will let you know if we end up with extras from the eggs she has been hatching, oldest chicks are only a few wks old right now.

Newcastle was insane!!!! There was so many birds, the selection was endless. There was a few things I was interested in, but I started tuckering out around 830. I tried to hang in there, however @ 1030 it was obvious any birds I wanted to bid on were not near the auction table. There were many pretty birds, lots of temptation. Loved getting to chat with everyone, many I had not seen in months. Hate that I cut out early, but it prob saved me lots of money. Plus I got home just a few minutes after DH.

Today was sooo beautiful! I got out and photographed a client's family. Also played in my dirt and caught up on homework. Hope tomorrow is pretty. Haven't checked the weather.

Where is anyone going to be sitting at Newcastle? Gonna stop by and see about getting some eating eggs.

It was great to meet you and to talk chickens!

I made it till the end of the auction, got home at 3:00a.m. The India Blue peacock sold for 65.00 and the pied went for 45.00. The blue-lace red wyandotte hens went for 30.00 each and the callducks did too.

What does everyone have planned for today?

I have babies to move to the big brooder in the hot tub room and two week olds to go out to the barn in the brooder room.
ive already let the geese and layer flock out to free-range and while I drink my coffee can see them thru the den window picking around the compost pile in the cow lot next to the barn.
Im going to begin the process of sorting on the Cochin and Wyandotte chicks by leg banding the nicer chicks in the clans that I know I want to keep as possible breeders. At 10 weeks they should show confirmation to meet the Standard of Perfection. Then I will need to figure out how many to get ready to either cull or sell. It is amazing how much feed 230 chicks can eat...going thru 50 pounds in 2.5 days. The layer and breeder pens go thru 50 pounds in 2 days.

MJ... Those two cockerels from Muesky are so sweet and talk to me every time I pass their quarantine cage and they love apple slices.
Were there other Wyandottes at Newcastle? Were the peacocks from Bill Francis and his wife's flock?

Christina...It's good you were able to get out to the auction. Nice to hear you are better.
