    Bluebell, the Big Blue Cochin Hen looking for a home, near Minneapolis please.

    Hello, We still have our big Blue Cochin hen, Bluebell, that is in need of a good home. She is a great girl, very easily handled and will fall asleep on her back when held :) but has just decided that she can not live with her coop-mate Daisey. She out weighs her by about 3 times and even...
