At the new castle auction. does cages go with the birds?

No. You have to bring your own cages if buying. If selling you can sell the cage if you want but they usually auction it separately from the contents.

The salad is ready, the soap is packaged for the raffle. I've selected a trio of CW for the raffle.
My boxes are ready to be filled with loads of LF Cochin juveniles and Wyandottes in several varieties and clean leg young layer replacers. We are bringing both vehicles. These boxes will make it easy for the Auction later in the evening. They have chicken wire over the openings.

Will fill the boxes this evening and include feed cups in the morning for the ride and water when we arrive.

I have a mixed breed rooster, hen and 4 chicks that I am bringing to poops. If they don't sell/swap at Poops do I need to seperate the chicks from the mama before I put them up for auction?

 

I have never seen moms sold with chicks. Doesn't mean it cant be done though.

Mommas with chicks bring good $$$$ at the auction. Much better than selling seperate. Keep them together IMO. Everyone loves watching a momma with chicks!

Nana you might need a cargo van to get to Newcastle tomorrow.

I couldn't get DH to let loose of any extension cords for tomorrow, but I found a surge protector to bring. Will be good to plug multiple crockpots into. The ham is sliced & I will reheat in the crockpot at poops!
See everyone soon.

OK. My first ever hatch went into lockdown tonight. Found another bad egg but the rest look good. Hopefully they will all start to hatch by Monday!

I've bought a hen with her 8 chicks at the Stillwater auction last year. It's the best deal. Chicks with built in care taker.
