My boyfriend and I just got back from the Harrah auction. It was busier than last week, but over within 2 hours. Not a whole lot of chickens again, but more buyers this time. Prices seemed a bit high this time, barred rock roosters went for $9 each. There were quite a few dozen hatching eggs there, some going as high as $7 a dozen for marans eggs. I wanted to buy some of the golden marans eggs, but they sold apparently when I wasn't watching. Oh, and there was a golden marans pair that sold for $9.50 each. Most eggs went for no more than $2 a dozen. I bought 8 buff silkie eggs for $1!!! Also, I sold a dog feeder & some other metal feeders & buckets, so I came home with $20 & some eggs! I call that a good trade! I hauled off some stuff I didn't need, brought home hatching eggs & some cash!
We're planning to go to the Cement auction next week. I think we'll try to sell a few of my 6 week old Jersey Giant pairs (blue rooster with black pullet), and the single jersey rooster chicks, and probably a couple of pairs of 3-4 month old Spitzhauben chickens. If anyone here is interested, I could hold them for you. Pre-auction sale $15 a pair.
