OK, I'm back from cleaning up all the brooders & washing & bleaching all the waterers & filling up food dishes, etc. Gosh, it never ends!
I had a pretty good time at the Blanchard auction. Our eggs sold well, and the only chicks we PO'd were my silkies and egyptian fayoumis that didn't get bid up to $2, oh and my turkey poults because they didn't go over $4. It's amazing people would pay more than $4 each for some turkey eggs there, but not for week old poults.
The only thing I bought was a half barrel chicken shelter for $1, 18 creole bantam eggs, and a wooden A frame chicken roost. Gerald was super happy because he bought some chains & boomers for his trailer. Oh, but the highlight of Gerald's evening was when he started talking to Kasi's husband Chuck about trucks! He's still talking about it today, hoping Chuck will come over some day & look at his silly ol' army truck.
I was amazed at the prices of the large rabbits selling prices at the auction. Yes, those giant rabbits did go high. I was even going to bid on the flemish giants thinking that Maribeth might want them, but they went over $25 each. I think the rabbits that went really high last night were some bred does that were another large breed. Baby bunnies were selling for over $5 each, as I recall and of course the cuteness factor weighed in heavily on the prices, because there were definitely parents buying for their kids there.
Oh, and the grouse eggs that I took to hatch for Sam finally hatched yesterday. I had read they should take 23 days to hatch. Well, they were on day 25 and I was about to toss 'em and I had turkey poults hatching & I saw all these miniature turkey poults everywhere! At least that's what they looked like! Anyway, I decided I didn't want to venture into raising grouse, so we took all the grouse chicks to Sam at the auction last night, and he had decided the same thing (not to raise them) so he sold them at the auction. Now there's 3 more that hatched this morning. Hopefully they can survive in the brooder with the turkey poults.
Oh, and we visited with Daniel, aka Arms310, at the auction last night & met his very pretty wife and beautiful baby daughter! They bought some eggs and chicks last night, and they forgot to take the baby's toy that she kept throwing on the floor. And they forgot the Easter sack. Sam has the toy, and I think he gave the sack away to someone ... since it had a live baby chick in it.

TJ's NaNa I appreciate the offer, ill probly take you up on it before to long. I dont want to get the bator going then have my order come in. I send them the payment well over a month ago an they told me it should be filled last of march, when i called a few days ago they couldnt even find my order. So i forwarded them a reciept for the payment paypal sent me. At least the guy running the place is being very friendly about it and working with me. I realy want those blue bantam orpingtons to come in.
Dachshunds, I had 5 puppies, 3 boys 2 girls. I was always told red was the dominate colour in Dachshunds but I had 4 out of 5 black and tans and 1 red (red stud blk/tan dam). I would love to find a chocolate stud but we got way to many dogs as it is. Id love a chocolate dapple, one of my favorites along with my blk/tan dapple (some call it silver dapple).

Ya we forgot everything... I thought she took it to the car and she thought I did the same. Last night was the first time I was able to talk my wife into going to a chicken auction... I think she really liked it and the chick prices were very low and she kept telling me to buy more because our phone is always ringing from people looking for more chicks.
Last night was the first time I had been to the Blanchard auction. I was very very impressed. NO SMOKING is great!!!! and it was very clean, lots of birds and not a lot of JUNK.

These are some older pics of our chocolate dapple male and some of our others. The cho/tan longhair is no longer with us. He was killed by a big ugly stray dog.
If you can't tell I think my wife would rather take pics of the pups than me!
