So who's going on the 13th of Feb? I'm taking a a pair of crele Orpingtons from David Pownall's line down and hoping to come back with some more Seramas (not the rubbish you usually see in the pens though).

Looked at the catalogue and there seems to be a huge number of Pekins.

Yes, they certainly seem to be very fashionable at the moment, but I don't blame people, I do love them!

I think they are great too but I do like to see a bit more variety.

Yes, I bought some French Copper Marans. Overall I thought the prices were too high. A lot of people were paying far to much e.g. legbars going for well over £20 a bird! There were also some terrible quality Seramas that made over £15 a bird.

Very long backs, poor combs, not great wing carriage. Out of them one of the hens was better than the others but still only pet quality. They would make ok pets but not for that money. Problem is Serama are all about type and when people sell birds like that and someone breeds them the eggs go on ebay and you have even more poor quality birds. They should look more like this: http://www.littleamericaminis.com/seramas/seramafact2.jpg or look at Happylittlehenny's birds.

I thought prices were quite high too- which is good for the sellers.

Overall quality of birds was deffo a lot better than the January sale, but there wasn't really anything i really wanted/ needed :)

At the last auction there were signs up saying they couldn't accept any more hatching eggs for March as it was already fully booked.
Shame that April is also nearly full.
