Evening all! Tried old man here. Had a great day at the auction today. And unusal for me I ended up bring home several purchases. Got a pretty pair of Golden Duckwing Dutch, two pair of Wellsummer bantams, a pair of Le Fleche bantams, and a pair of Brown Leghorn bantams. Got good deals on all of mine which was fortunate because stuff was sky high! Plain old production red hens were bringing $15-20! Nice purebreds like silver laced wyandottes,and austrolopes were $21-29 each! I have never seen hens sell like that around here! Turkeys were average around $45-50 each,saw reds,palms,narangasettes,blacks,and my first lavenders,they were really pretty. Any way was pleased with the new birds now to start building pens again! Found out friday the sale is off on our place so we don't have to move again. Happy but sad at the same time. But ready to get back to my gardening and bird hobbys!
Then this afternoon got to see our one and only granddaughter all prissied up for her first prom! Predjuice but she was stunning! But must admit to a few tears when I thought of her in a tee shirt and ball cap holding my finger and toddling around the farm with me! Love the young lady she is now but sure miss my shadow!
