Egg centric, shhhhhhhhhh about the deals at the end, that's my secret plan next week, we don't want the whole internet to know. So uhh hmmmm ya that's not true at all, nothing to see here folks, move along!

Right?!! That gave me my morning chuckle.

JimW, I am loving your Virkon idea. I will go to Alfred and maybe (oh who am I kidding I will) bid but I will disinfect the

out of my shoes, etc. (literally, lol).

Ya true the club would know where and who the sellers are and could not accept birds from sellers from the alert area.

I still in the back of my mind always think what is wrong with the birds that don't have any seller info on them. Lol

E-c yep Virkon a good idea for after sales and feed store visits all the time. I am keeping the 2 Gallon sprayer in my vehicle.

What deals, um, no, I was confused.

In all fairness, very few people can last til the end after 10 hours or so of auction-going.

Imagine if you were pulled over: "No, sir/ma'am, the 2 gallon-sprayer, I have no idea how it got there; it is not full of Virkon because I was at a poultry auction. It is for painting, yeah, painting."

Lol, ah man the baloney stories the cops must hear when they pull people over.

I still remember being a teen going to an auction with a good ole boy named Jim. It was foggy and an ambulance went by us the other way and he didn't pull over until the last second as we really couldn't see what it was until the last second. So a cop saw us and pulled us over and asked why we didn't yield. We couldn't see and weren't sure what the flashing lights were about. "Where are you going?" "A bird auction" " A what?" And right on cue a rooster crowed from the back of the truck. There was a pause...... "Alright you guys get going and pull over next time you see an emergency vehicle."

I miss Jim, he was a good lad to a redneck kid. I also miss his dark cornish, he imported them from England. I wish I would of kept some.

Now you remind me of a story (oh, oh getting in to that reminiscences stage) several years ago, coming home from Vernon Auction where I got a pair of Norfolk Cropper pigeons happily cooing in the truck and somewhere around North Gower my alternator went. Got a tow truck to come and when the young lad was unhooking my vehicle, he said " excuse me miss, (that just shows exactly how young he was :)
but can I ask you what it is you have in the truck?" I always wondered what he thought it was before he couldn't resist and had to ask

I'm with you Jim on no tag information, one of the lessons I learned from sales is "no info usually means trouble", people who are proud of their birds put all kinds of info, cards etc because they stand behind what they sell and hope you may get more from them in future.

OC, he at least called you Miss so that should make you feel good!

I was never pulled over by the cops but I usually drive through down town on my way to a sale and I love the startled look on people's faces while standing waiting for a light and suddenly hear roosters crowing beside them.

I am afraid that is not the case, :) Young lad calling me Miss, means only one thing, my advanced age confuses him so much that it defies any kind of category in his mind and after running thru all the possibilities ends up back at the default point, which is Miss.
