Carla,
Sounds like there were some bargains on eggs if you were a buyer but when hatching eggs are selling for less than eating eggs, that is sad.
Don't lose the number of the person with peacock chicks. If I don't have any hatch and live this year, I may be in the market for some peachicks myself.

Some day I will have more time to find the local auctions in my area. I sure had fun at the only one I have been to.
Sounds like everyone is having a good weekend. We start VBS tomorrow and then will be leaving on Vacation next week. Where did the time go?

Seemed like a buyer's market mostly, but I'm not really experienced enough to tell, really. They sold four Leghorn roosters for less than what I paid for mine as day old chicks before I dumped all this feed into them, so that was depressing, as I have three I'm wanting to dump, myself.
It started out slow, but by the time we left they had a pretty good house full.
Al, I don't know what a standard LF is (don't have my chicken abbreviations down yet, HA!), but the sign on the cage said Cornish X. It certainly looked like pictures I've seen of them. Had it been a standard Cornish I'd have stuck around all night if I had to, as that is where we have decided to go for our meat flock.

Buster usually the meat birds are all white so there won't be any dark meat in the carcass. Even though they call them Cornish crosses or Cornish x Rocks most are from the Cobb line of birds. I can remember as a kid that there was both dark and light meat in the table birds.
And LF is large fowl. Also called standard.

Hopefully Gerald has this guy's phone number still. He bought some of our turkeys & poults earlier this year, and I think we still have his name & number. I'm sure he has enough for us both to share.
Buster, I apologize for Gerald. He just called & said he's leaving now. I asked him what that cornish cross sold for and he said he must have been busy doing something else when it went thru, because he didn't see it sell. I bet we could find out from Misti or Jerry, aka auctionlover though.
Al, male peafowl (peacocks) take 3 years to get the beautiful feathering. Females (peahens) never get as pretty and don't have the long fancy plumage. Peahens don't begin laying until they're at least 2 years old either.

Gerald's home now. It looks like the most he paid for any of the bantam hatching eggs was $3 a dozen. He also wanted some black copper marans eggs, but Jack was bidding on them so he didn't .... they went for $10 a dozen and Jack let Gerald buy 2 dozen from him. Jack sure is nice!!!
Gerald is a proud owner of a hand painted clock ... it's a Twelve Cock Clock, painted by a local artist! I'll have to take a picture of it & post it on here one of these days when I have spare time.
Well, gotta go now. Gerald wants to celebrate by going out to eat in the city tonight.

That's okay. I know these things are partly work for you guys, so I wasn't wanting him to go to too much trouble. I was just curious. Had it been all that important I would have stuck around.
I'll PM Misti.
The auctioneers are starting to recognize me by number though. I'm not so sure that's a good thing after just three Blanchard auctions. I must be buying way too much stuff.
That is so funny about those plates. I leaned over to my wife when the bidding got over a dollar and said she could get something like that at a yard sale for almost nothing. Cracks me up that is exactly what Gerald did.
She takes lists of things we need when she yard sales (she's the pro in our family). We are definitely adding "Chicken Memorabilia" to the list.

The comb of the Cornish should be dominant in a Rock/Cornish cross but the meat birds have single combs. The Cobb breed was devoloped in the thirties I think.
