Gerald is usually a much better salesman than that! Or maybe I am more easily sold things that I really want to get and just need a little extra encouragement.
Gerald was bragging at POOPS that all he has to do is hand a silkie chick to a child and tell them to go show it to their parents. It works best on Grandma's though

I doubt the Fletcher auction will be as good as the Cement auction, at least it wasn't 2 weeks ago. Anyway, I'm doing my best to convince Gerald to go the the Cement auction .... told him I was afraid to drive there by myself
Hopefully that works ... when I talked to him a few hours ago, he said he might drive me there and stay out in the truck.
Are you going to the Cement auction? Newcastle show? I need to bring you that nice turkey cage back. Did you know that turkey was so smart he escaped the cage twice? I guess he unlatched the door. The second time, we found him on top of the Narragansett pen, on the other side of our barn. At least he knows which pen he was supposed to go in. I was worried that the older tom might beat him up, but he fit in perfectly.
Yes, Gerald handed a white silkie to a very willing Jaxon at POOPS and she is doing well with the partridge silkie hen he bought from Betsy. As I recall, that is how we wound up buying a mixed breed turkey at the Spring POOPS, as well.
Yes, I am planning on going by Blanchard to see if I can find the poultry show and then going to Cement. The only thing I might be interested in purchasing would be some large cages, but they have to fit in the back of the van. LOL!
That cage the turkey was in was formerly a dog crate and we used to put new bottle fed kid goats in it and keep them in the house when it was really cold. I am amazed he managed to slide the bolts on the door and open it. Isn't it funny how he recognized his breed and stayed with their pen. He was wandering the yard with Uno and 3 other Narragansett toms, so I guess he has a few "survival" skills - or maybe he just goes down with the first punch.
