Any of you breeders who want to bring your birds to the MPLS auction on May 7th I will be there. It will save your shipping or driving expenses. Also pass the word along that there will be a raffle for 2 perch fees to the OLR race.
The birds are starting to come in. So far the birds that are here look real good and healthy. You will be notified when I receive them. Best of luck to all
