LOL, Beth you are funny, I even looked back to see if I had said anything about my DH. Although he is short he does have more of a tan.

It really wasn't that bad out there. As you can see we were moving & playing. I did get alittle snow down my neck while feeding.

Hi Michael! How are you doing!?

Teach you really need to learn to think like a woman so you can figure out how to get more birds!

On the polish, I was worried that I had three boys & one girl but it now looks the other way around! So I am tickled.

I had thought that I had plans for my chickens only to discover that I forgot the polish & SLW.

Fish YUMMO................. will it be very spicey as is the Indian tradition ??. with any curry ??.

AL

Yes, curry. He uses a variety of spices, but does tone it down some for me. He adds an unbelievable amount of hot sauce, jalapenos, or habaneros to his own plate! All our friends love it when he prepares food for pot lucks.

It is our get together to make a long story short. You can see pictures if you go to the link in my signature line along with the location that it is held.

WE have a full day of fun that you can see in AL's signature line.

I agree with your feelings on the current weather - but it'll be back in the upper 60s in a couple of days.

Chupps has a 10 acre site that is often filled with rows and rows of about everything you can imagine for sale. I don't know how many auctioneers they have going at any one time, but it's definitely several. They just go down the rows and auction things off.

The animal sale is in an outdoor covered arena sort of thing. If you bring anything to sell, come EARLY. I know someone who started out very early from his home and got there at 8 a.m. and they wouldn't take them because he was there too late. When you bring your animals, you just set them out in rows and stay with them until they come by, take your information, number what you've brought and give you something to claim your money with. You don't have to stay. If you want to leave, they'll send you a check Monday. Very few animals are in decent cages; nearly all are like Q said. You can't really get a good look at a lot of them; especially those in cardboard boxes with wire tops. When I take birds, I label them with quite a bit of specific information since they can't really be seen well. I include that my flock is NPIP Certified. I started out with better boxes with side "windows," but now do the cardboard boxes with wire tops. I don't take my best birds, though they're better than most hatchery birds, and usually get anywhere from $3.50 a bird to an occasional $15. I've never stayed for the auction, because when I've been there it has been COLD.

Baby chicks often go for less, and they're often crowded in cardboard boxes that you can't see into without opening them.

They usually have quite a variety of animals, from tiny baby chicks, to lots of baby parakeets, guinea fowl, peafowl, ducks, geese, little baby potbellied pigs, to full grown goats. I'm sure they have a lot of other animals from time to time.

Another reason to go early is to find a decent parking place. The traffic gets very bad in both directions.

They have a decent concession stand, and have stands for all kinds of produce, as well as some very commercial stands; Sprint, for example.
