What is your Auctions take of the sale price? The Enumclaw Sales Pavilion keeps a third of the sale price. It would have to be worth the full hour of driving from here to there. At least I could stop by for a visit, while I would be in the neighborhood.

These two auctions down here are in a real nasty battle against each other. The one at yard birds takes 20% and I was told the one up coal creek takes 15%. RedRooster Farm told me that she gets more for LF up coal creek and more for bantam at yard birds. I know that from what I have heard it sounds like the locals prefer the yard birds sale.

thank you for the answer. That would make the trip worth it, as long as I bring several birds at a time.

That is a fairly good deal. But if you are selling your eggs legally, you have to have new cartons that have your farms name and info on it. I had the license to sell, but I really don't have enough eggs to sell all the time. I was also going to have to have a utility sink installed. You are not supposed to clean the eggs in your personal kitchen. You are required to have a separate sink for the eggs. I would love to have a utility sink, but I still don't know where I have the space to do it,

I love to know that I am not the only one. DH will fold the laundry when he is home, but he has been gone for nearly 2 weeks this time. I am such a bratty princess. I did break down and finally did some laundry today. The sheets on the bed were becoming suspect, because of the 2 dogs that are sleeping with me these day. lol I do love clean sheets.

I know a guy that will turn the boys into capons. That gives them more time to get bigger. They won't crow, and they will stay tender, once they are capons. The guy is just south of the Rustler's place.

Would that be the guy from the show who wore a cowboy hat? That would be Albie and he is North of me. Just south of Chehalis.

Yep that is who it is. I thought he was a very generous man. He helped DH and I with the sale cages, and our roos. I might still take him up on his offer.

While the prices always change so ya never really know. I will let ya know when I find out how much my birds sold for. See I didn't wait for my check.

NOTE key words here "supposed to" and I am sure everybody that sells eggs goes through all this bs.

I wish we had an auction over here.....

It is a very profitable business. If there was someone that was looking for a business opportunity this would be a great idea for the Spokane area.

Good to have my gut instinct affirmed.
