We had a little rain when we had ours after Thanksgiving. No fun. The worst part for us was the cold. I swear, I've been sick ever since. We made that much money in two days with only a little rain. You did pretty well!
I was a little concerned about people knowing that I have chickens in our backyard. All my neighbors already know because of the rooster. No one asked about them though. No one even asked to buy eggs. I didn't have any extra to put out because I'd used or sold so many for Thanksgiving dinner.
Is there a problem with having chickens where you live? Are people stealing chickens there?

We had some pretty strange people show up. One guy stayed for over an hour and a half then he came back the second day.

I agree with the weird people thing. I feel really exposed when I have a yard sale. I think that's why I usually don't. I was afraid the guy was going to come back and steal my hens.

H 23 .....Was the guy who hung out for the 1 1/2 hours maybe a neighbor trying to be friendly?

That is scary to have someone hang out that long and then come back!

someone being neighborly would have chatted, introduced themselves, etc.....someone "just hanging" around is creepy to me. I am not into that.....state your business, let me know you are friend or foe..LOL
