There is also another place, but it is Auction only

POULTRY AUCTION EVERY SATURDAY AT 11 AM
558 COAL CREEK RD CHEHALIS WA
15% COMMISSION
CALL 360 748 0766
WEEKLY MARKET REPORT ON FACEBOOK

At Yard Birds, you can either put your birds for auction, or pay the $10 and set up in the parking lot. Prices you will get can vary widely. Hubby went a couple of weeks ago and prices were low; much higher at Coal Creak. Muscovies bring more at Coal Creek because of the Asian market (they prefer large drakes, and sometimes will fetch up to $50 per bird).

Hope this helps

Is it likely to be worth auctioning a few extra bantam roos at Chehalis this weekend? I could drive them over after my birds are in their show cages. I assume they have to be in individual cardboard boxes? What time is one supposed to have birds there? I've only done the Enumclaw auction in the past.

I'm not sure this would be the best venue for you. Last time but one, I was there, and I was looking at some polish bantams - they went for $1.50 each! (those that sold, some didn't) OUCH Of course, you can never tell - each auction is different. Check in is at 8:00 am.

Have you tried Craig's List? As a former Marketing person, I was getting $10 for $2 ducklings, just by the pics and phraseology (well, I also did hand raise for a few days so they were bonded, which always sells well). You'd be amazed at how much you can get for birds with the right marketing (and of course, the right time of year, which isn't really now) and of course, some good luck.

This is more of a "meat" market, not a show bird one. You would probably do better at Coal Creek. And even there, it's mostly meat birds.
