It was a good turnout for the auction! I ended up spending too much and coming home with 8 new birds, haha. I wanted the Rhode Island Hens, but I had pretty much blown the budget and I made my brother stop bidding at about $80, lol. I was not sure who was there from the forum so I didn't meet up with anyone either. All in all I thought it was a great day!

Glad you made it to the auction, it was a fantastic turnout, way over what the club was expecting, as this was the first one we had held we didnt really know what was going to happen, will have to change a couple of things to try and make it run smoother, but all in all I think it was a pretty good day with just under 200 birds in the auction and easily there would have been close to about 400 people would have gone through the shed over the day.

Well done Judy I am so happy it was such a agreat success. And well done on all your wins and nice to see some of the other menbers made it to the show and had fun buying up all the chooks in the auction. Sounds like it was a great day I wish I could have made it myself would have loved to enter a couple of chookies. Maybe I can get some into the next show for older birds.

I am going to send an entry in...my girls have been laying for a couple of months now. I was never certain how old they were but they must be around 8 months now so will they be old enough my boy is around 6 months and has a broken toe....will that disqualify him. ...I guess I am also going to have to learn how to wash chooks and teach them how to be happy in a small cage for a while. I was also thinking of bringing one of the Pekins and maybe one of the new Speckled Sussex hens...(I wont bring the roo as I dont want to have to put him back in to quaratine when he comes home....he has lots of work to do LOL
