Spurred on by one of my hens going broody on Thursday, I went to the hatching egg sale determined to get a dozen eggs.

Oooops, a dozen Vorwerk eggs were going for £2 so I got them for £3, then I got a half dozen Andalusian and then thought I was bidding on 6 Barbu d'uccles but actually it was 12. Came away with 30 eggs

for less than £15 quid!

Add to that the 6 chicks Gary owed me after giving me cockerels and the 2 gold laced wyandotte youngsters he sold me for a fiver (I'm still convinced they are cockerels aswell though, Gary!)

So overall I came away with 30 eggs and 8 young uns for less than £20 I think that's a good day shopping!

Well Done ! You got bargins. I didn't come away with anything, bid on 2 white pekin pullets but went too high. My mate did well got £80 for trio of mille fleur pekins !

Well I didn't get anything. Everything I went to look at either hadn't turned up or wasn't what it was supposed to be

We did not get as OH was crow watching so I got on with work needed in the pollytunnel. I think he was worried I would come home with more animals but as we are getting 2 Kune-Kune weaner's at the end of June I am saving my money for a change. Still would have been nice to have some time out
