Snowy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Oooh, so jealous! I'd love to go to the Melton Fur and Feather - not far from me! But I always seem to be working when it's on. Where do you find details of future sales Chris? I might have to clear my diary! Sounds like you got some lovely girls as well - I love Hamburgs. Pics please!

Redwing Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've been to the regular auctions a few times now, there is some good stock there but also ill stock, cockerels being sold as hens, poor cockerels being sold for 50p and dubious bidding. Lots of novices get caught out In saying that many other actions are similar but its compounded at Melton because the auctions are more frequent their two rare breed auctions each year are very good and well worth going to though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
