We did ok at the Blue auction ... but the Cement auction was certainly the place to sell chicks & eggs! At Blue, we sold some Spitzhauben and Brabanter chicks ... I think they went for around $3.50 each. The auctioneer said he'd never seen them before at the auction ... too bad it didn't make people want them more, lol. Also, at the Blue auction there were quite a few free puppies there, and some free kittens. I almost took home a part great pyrenese, part okbosh (spelling ????) puppy home with me ... but Gerald said I couldn't, since we already have 5 pound puppies living with us. He said we have to wait until one of our others dies of old age ... or runs away from home. Anyway, we didn't buy a thing. It's good that Gerald was busy transferring chickens when those birds he wanted came through the auction ... we sure didn't need them, and I'm sure we'll find a better deal at Harrah! Oh, a highlight of the Blue auction ... a giant rat running around the rafters that Tara pointed out ... I shined my flashlight at him as he ran. Yes Tara, you need to go there again. It's definitely an interesting place to visit. Gerald wants to go again ... but next time we do, we'll have to find a motel. It is entirely too long a trip. We left early again ... around midnight, so we didn't see all the birds go thru.
We will definitely go to the Harrah auction this Saturday. It's always a pleasure talking to all the BYC okies that attend it! I think we'll be bringing some more spitzhauben chicks to sell, plus I probably should start selling some cuckoo marans rooster chicks and possibly others.
