Des Moines, Iowa - I need some replacement chickens after a dog visit

[dustyhans]

Hi everyone. I see there are a few Iowans here. I'm hoping someone might know where I can buy some chickens to replace what the dog took yesterday. The ones we have were bought Easter weekend at a farm and tractor, but they're out of them now.
I think these are called banties?? and they have feathers on their legs.
Anyone know where I can find some around the Des Moines or Ames area?

I think your talking about cochins? I don't have any of them but I may have some standard favorelles in few weeks if you're interested?

Good morning, Amy. Thanks for responding. As best as I could guess from looking at online chickens, I thought they might be cochins, too. I lost the most beautiful hen.
I don't know what favorelles are. Are they small, too?
How far away from Des Moines are you?
Dusty
