An exciting day today which the bees were really looking forward too! Chicken auction day!
We were planning on taking in 4 of our cockerels to sell and looking at maybe another couple to buy.
Big bee raided her money box and had set her hopes on finding a 'friend' for her 'grey'. (She wants grey baby chicks!) lol!
Here the bees are settling in our cockerels. Rather sad seeing them go. :-(
There were no suitable 'greys' so instead big bee set her sights on this pair.
She called them zigzag chickens because of there colouring/pattern.
She'd planned to call one zig and one zag! Lol!
Watching the auctioneer at work!
Big bee and daddy are here bidding on zig and zag. (Tiny bit of pink in middle of photo is her arm!)
Unfortunately they were well outbid. Little bit sad but big bee totally understood. Great lesson really.
We did however bid on and win these eggs! :-) both bees (and me) very excited at this!!
Aaaaand we did find 4 new friends to take home. ;-) 4 cuckoo marans!
(The black ones in photo) welcoming them into the family!
We gave 2 broody chickens the eggs so watch this space.....
Fun day! We'd planned a movie night but little bee didn't quite make it!
Just us girlies then! (Daddy bee is fishing)
