We need new blood for the flock. My buddy with the other rooster just got with me and I'm not willing to deal with chicks either. So maybe a fall hatch? I can hope someone goes broody so I don't have to chase chicks. While I'm not thrilled with the idea of feather footed Brahmas in this gumbo mud, I'm will to try it. Should be a good dual use breed.

The quail are about to start laying, so eggs won't be on short supply until the January pullets start pulling their share.

We have a plan.

I got lucky with the last 2 sets, they were broody raised, my serial broody dahlia is thinking about it so this all pans out, lol.

Our electricity finally came back on and I can finally bring my quail chicks back home! Three days without was starting to get a little irritating.

I got me a couple of Buff Orpington roosters to add some new genetics to my flock. Gives me 3 roosters. 2 Buffs and 1 Buckeye. My Buckeye is still a breeder, but he lost his brother a couple months ago.

I also got 2 Buff pullets, 2 Golden Sexlink pullets, 2 White Legbar pullets, and 2 Lavender Wyandotte pullets. Not to mention the 9 pullets that are the buckeye's daughters that will be joining the flock.

Does anyone know of any Poultry Auctions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area? I am closer to Fort Worth, but I am wanting to find auctions.

Also, do chickens have to be PT tested before I sign them up for the auction? Or can they do testing at the auction. I have seen mixed information on that. I have seen some about taking paperwork for them and I have seen some things about them testing the poultry there and adding the cost onto how much you pay for being in the auction.
