Well, the morning started way to early but it was off and up and out the door to the best bird sale in a three hour drive around us, and thankfully its only half an hour away!

As always a awesome sale.. I had  gone with a list of things I wanted and I came home with my list and a few more..all under budget!

So on the list was.. One big dual purpose brown egg laying rooster around the eight month to a year in age, one new doe rabbit, and one new drake to match up with Jackie..

What I came home with was ..

TWO new does (unrelated) for Blue the Buck, one is called Tippy Toes, and the other one is Adele..

Two New roo’s, one huge! eight month old blue splashed Jersery Giant! going by the call name of Captain Mel (this boy just took over the roost in one fell swoop.. and one not quite as massive but still big a old fashion multi-purpose Faverolles boy called Wash (yes, I named them after Firefly characters).. He was quite happy to take second place, such a stunning bird!

Then came the drakes, one boy called JR for Jackie, and the other called Spaz for Apple, and they came from the same breeder and so are being buds at the moment but I will split them up with their own girl and we will go from there..

But the BIG surprise, yup, I found a mate for Honk, a lovely coming year old female of the same breed, who is just the right age to find and bond with a mate, and I’m calling her Hiss.. Honk and Hiss, how cute is that!

Still going to get my goslings as planned but I can now also look forward to hopefully having some hatch out on the farm itself..

All and all, a very productive day! Pictures will come another day!
