Blue Laced Red Wyandottes In Saskatchewan

I will be traveling to Southern Saskatchewan in June by truck and maybe trailer and am looking to get some new blood into my breeding flock. I have beautiful birds from Westcoast farms here on Vancouver Island and also have indirectly been able to purchase some of Heidi's beautiful birds (Chilliwack) from a couple of different sources. Does anyone in Saskatchewan have any BLRWs that do not come from these two sources. I have made the personal decision to not include hatchery stock in my breeding so I know that will narrow down availability for me. I am pretty much game for chicks, hens or eggs. I would prefer not to purchase a rooster as I have some beauties already but never say never! On that note I will also have chicks of various ages that I could bring that way. I will have 1 maybe 2 roosters that are beauties and come from eggs from Gabbards (Arkansas) line. I also will have unsexed chicks that are incubating at this time. If anyone wants to purchase fertilized eggs I could collect for them too. I sell these chicks as they will be directly related to my roos and hens and I use other birds for breeding. I look forward to your responses!

Thanks, Monika

I have Adult birds BLR wyandottes about 11 months old. You would have to check with Hidden River (Jayme) where they originally came from as I bought the chicks from her. DLC

Thanks DLC, does that mean that you are selling yours? Jayme are you able to tell me where these birds are from?

My main hens are from McMurray hatchery, so probably not something you wanted. They are awesome birds though and their offspring have matured nicely.
I might be interested in one of your roosters, if you could post some pictures or email them to me. I believe you drive right past my farm on Hwy #1 when you are coming this way.

I am going out right now to garden for a bit and will take the camera with me. I would love to meet you Jayme!

Here you go, these cockerels were hatched Dec15th/10

So, it looks like there may only be 3 lines of BLRW around?

It seems that way Briar. Not really sure what to do if other lines are not available. I do have unrelated hens and a rooster as you know. But it feels as though I am hitting a wall with this. What are your plans? Maybe we should sneak some in from another country or something, shhhh don't tell anyone ...

I like that guy looking out the window at the dog.
What are you asking for the roosters? Do you have a vaccination program?

I have found it very hard to source out other lines, that is one reason I have used hatchery stock. I have some very nice hens, good size and shape, but splash in color from the hatchery. I was using a black version of the BLRW rooster in with them this spring and getting gorgeous looking chicks, unfortunately something is up with him now hoping he will get over whatever it is, so have a splash rooster in with them now. All my blue roosters I hatched last year from a lady in BC's eggs all had crooked tails?
