South Essex Poultry Auctions has been set up by a group of like minded individuals who all enjoy one thing in common - chickens!

Poultry auctions in this part of Essex are not very common and we hope that newcomers to the hobby, back yard keepers and established breeders will find our auctions a great place to meet with the added advantage of being able to sell your surplus stock and also purchase new stock.

We'll welcome more or less anything to do with poultry at our auctions; those spare feeders or drinkers you no longer have a use for, that coop that's now too small and don't forget the hatching eggs.

Click on the links above to view the dates of our Auctions for 2012, venue details, Auction Rules, and links you may find useful.

Please email: sepoultryauctions@gmail.com with a list of your proposed Auction entries.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our Auctions!

13 May 2012
A beautiful day today, after about a month of raining. What better way to spend the morning at the auction buying some new stock for your collection!

140 lots this time, birds included a pair of rare white Sumatras, a golden pheasant, Silver Dorkings and the ever popular pekins and silkies, lots of hatching eggs; a huge indoor aviary and 2 different incubators.

Thank you to our sellers and buyers for coming along; and as usual thanks to our catering team and Sam's Poultry; good luck with your A levels Sam!

Next auction 15 July - see you there!

25 March 2012
It may have been a foggy start to the morning but that didn't deter many of you from coming to West Thurrock to join us for our first auction of 2012.

There were over 160 lots including chickens (of course), geese, ducks, quail (jumbo, Californian, Italian), a love bird, finches, hatching eggs (chicken, duck, goose, quail), drinkers of all forms, feeders, heat lamps, brooders, egg turner, chicken ark, duck house, hutch.

Thanks go to the catering team for feeding us, to Sam's Poultry for attending with their mobile shop and to our sellers and buyers.

Look forward to seeing you all again on 13 May!

4 September 2011
Sunday 4 September saw our last auction of 2011.

Just over 120 lots on this occasion, with some unusual birds including an Appenzeller Spitzhausen, a Houdan (which is quite similar to a Poland) and some Ko Shamos (which are Japanese birds).

Thanks to Carol and her team for looking after the catering this time. Also thanks to Sam's Poultry for attending again.

We like to hear your comments on how we did - use the "Contact Us" form on this website.

We'll be back on 25 March for our first auction of 2012. Look forward to see you all there and thanks for supporting us so far!

5 June 2011
The Auction Committee would like to thank all those who came along on Sunday 5 June for our second auction. We had an increase on the number of lots for sale, with plenty of room for more (maybe the September one!).

Our lots this time included an incubator, feeder and drinker, Practical Poultry magazines, Smallholder magazines and of course plenty of chickens of many varieties and hatching eggs, we even had goose eggs!

Marie and the catering team tried a few different food options this time and we hope you enjoyed what was on offer.

Thanks go to Sam's Poultry for coming along and setting up "shop". We're pleased you did well and that we'll see you back with us in September. Visit Sam's Poultry website to purchase on line and for other information. http://www.samspoultry.co.uk

Don't forget our next auction is on Sunday 4 September - same time and place!

Again, if you have any comments or suggestions please use the "Contact Us" form on this site.

See you all again in a few months!

10 April 2011
Our first auction was on 10 April. We had around 127 lots, most of which sold. It was a very good turn out with around 160 people through the door. Our auctioneers, Peter and Gary, did a very good job considering it was the first time either of them had done this type of thing!

Marie and her crew in the kitchen kept everyone fed and watered. Hope you all enjoyed the bacon rolls and cakes?!

We had a good selection of birds in the auction and plenty of hatching eggs. The highest bid of the day was for a box of young Polands. Other entries included goose eggs, quails, guinea fowl, some fairly loud cockerels and some Penedesencas which is a Spanish breed I'd heard of but never actually seen.

We'd like to say thank you to all who came long and we hope you enjoyed the experience and will come along to the next auction on 5 June. If you have any suggestions or comments for us please use the "Contact Us" form on this site.
