Yes sadly that is true Jim, the guys on stage got pretty ticked off about it, people need to pay attention, if they announce two or three times "all males in the box" and then someone sends it back because there are all males in the box, what the heck! I found that last year as well with this sale, not as bad but still annoying.
There was a nice pullet that someone put in with another person's lot near the end, it was good stock but went low because not many bid on her. Maybe for the same reason I wouldn't touch it with a hundred foot pole, who the heck anonymously slips in a chicken to another person's lot. Was it a big misunderstanding or is something wrong with the bird.
One other thing I really like about this sale is if someone brings a sick bird and tries to sneak it through the sale, they will announce your lot number and tell you to go take the box out of the sale, they will closely check over the rest of the boxes from the same lot. They are fairly strict with the rules and I like that.
