Chelford Agricultural Auction...

Made a trip up to Chelford Market yesterday morning. It was chaos. First time I've ever been to an agricultural auction. Still no scooby on what Mr Auction Man was actually saying. It was great to see such a wide variety of birds and many many other animals. No children were hurt in the horde of sellers and buyers. We witnessed a few semi-suicidal chicks flying out of cages. Six birds in total brought home with us. Three Black Rock Girls, one Salmon Faverolle and a pair of Bantam Blue Laced Wyandotte. After purchase, we discovered that one of the Blue Laced Wyandottes was actually a cockerel and the Salmon Faverolle was feeling somewhat broody, subsequently, once back home, she was swapped with a Buff Orpington from Lodge HQ. So, even though it rain throughout the whole trip, it ended with sleepy smiles all round.
