    Took the kids to our first bird auction

    In the new town we live in people are big on livestock. Every month  they hold a bird sale on the last Tuesday. I had always wanted to go but we used to live 45 minutes away. Now I'm 5.[:D]
    So I quickly did some BBQ and me and the kids went. I explained to them how it worked and we went to check out which birds we would bid on. And we won the ones we wanted. It was so funny. It was ALL men in there. I swear they were looking at me like a piece of meat.
    The type of birds I have and wanted at the sale are very popular and hard to get. There were 5 men standing next to the cage waiting. So it's time and I bid, someone goes higher, I bid again, someone goes higher. Then a man standing next to me yells "Hey, let the lady have the birds, they're for her kids here." Well they all stopped and let me have the birds. LOL.  I think next month I'll wear a tighter shirt and be sure to have the kids again. LOL
     
    Hey if you Got It, Use It. [;)]

    Call ducks.  But they also had fancy chickens that lay blue eggs. I wanted her but I didn't know how much I would spent on the Calls. I will post some pics tomorrow. It should be an eventful day. I am working till noon and the in laws are coming over to move my shed. Hopefully it don't crash to the groud, or my birds will not have a house. The building is 16 by 21 feet. It's huge. So I'm praying the move goes well. I made sure I picked up enough beer and wine to past the day.
     
     
    I'll take some good pics of all my birds tomorrow to share. It was so cute they were all in the crick swimming today. I also have some baby Rouen ducks coming next Tuesday. I just love hatch season.[sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif]

    Just make sure not to pass out these refreshments till after the shed is moved or you might have a crashed shed.[sm=rofl.gif]
