daxigirl Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Would love to go, but I'm going to look (read not come home empty handed) at the one in Southampton tonight. Really would like something white. Got some "yellow leg" babies so thought it would be an ideal time to add another one before intros to "black leg" big girls.

daxigirl Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Damn I could have got you to get me a something white and he could have brought her down. The bird auction in Southampton was aviary type birds, with some rabbits and guinea pigs. Thought I'd better not stay because I wouldn't be able to resist if the little guinea pigs failed to sell and were homeless I'm a sucker like that. You could always do the I've bought this for my birthday from you trick, normally works with my brother (Its in a village hall in the New Forest, jct 2 off the M27 SO40 2NZ Pollards Moor Road) next one is 15th Oct.

daxigirl Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Margaret did you buy anything? (apart from tea & coffee) How was it? I so wanted to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Please check over your Hens carefully, I know a few people taking sick birds to auction although, I'm not sure they'll get away with that - are the birds checked by a vet or something?

Margaret Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I am such a good girl, I brought Zilch.. Mind you not through want of trying was outbid every time. AlsoI was having second thoughts as really dont have the time at this time of year to do intros as I work full time and with the commute am away from house for 12 hours also no were to put them, I didnt really think it through. But the Jubilee Orpingtons were lovely but I stopped bidding at £45.00 So think I will wait until next year, when the evening get light...
