I'm happy to report that my injured bird is standing up, mostly as a peg leg, but (s)he is starting to move the injured leg a bit! My small dog/cat kennel has workred well for its recovery.

I have wandering hens. They are laying somewhere, but I can't find it. I want to confine them to the coop/run, but its so stuffy & no electricity in the coop at this time. I need to fix the GFI outlet; I think that will take care of things.

ottbjumper06- I've been stalking the Iowa Blue breed forum for a while now. I've been thinking about contacting karimw to get some next year. Right now I have been having fun 'trying out' different breeds. My grand kids & I really love a colorful flock!

Speaking of grand kids, we have a new future flock master! Leeland, 2 1/2, has been the checker of eggs and the thrower of scratch, now has a baby brother, Wyatt, who he will need to teach the skills of going down to the coop when he is older. I am so fortunate to have my grandsons living with us.

I have an Iowa Blue rooster. He is awesome! He's actually my avatar right now. Hurley (here in WI) breeds and shows them. She'd probably have some to sell you also.

Kari would be a good person to source them from. Myself and a few others breed them as well. Here is the breeder directory: www.iowabluechickenclub.com

I am getting out of the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte breeding. I have some hens and a rooster that I would like to sell. Also, I have a boat load of chicks 3 weeks and younger and more supposed to hatch on Tuesday. Anyone who is interested in some of them, PM me and I will give you more info.
THe one hen is just molting in this picture. I think a couple are starting to do so, and 4 of them are broody at the moment and I will try to break them. I have only 1 Blue hen, the rest are Splash and the rooster is Blue Laced.

Well this is GREAT NEWS for Shakopee and overall for the rest of us who live in suburbs that think they are too high and mighty for chickens!

RandomChickens I don't think your link worked ... Do you get chickens?!

No unfortunately. Thank you so much for caring/asking.

Shakopee is a neighboring suburb, so maybe the sanity is moving closer!

And thanks for letting me know about the link. I think I fixed it.

its cull the rooster time again. Have a year old rooster who hates the sulmtalers, and if weren't for the rooster, I could combine flocks. so it is time for him to go. I hate hate culling him because he is the most gentle rooster with the hens that I've ever had.

I also have two cockerals from chicks a broody hatched that are about 8 weeks - too little to eat but I really don't want to keep them and grow them out either!
