    Favacauna Rooster in Tampa Area FREE

    Free to a good home, Favacauna Rooster born 5/19/16. He's from an NPIP farm and is an excellent protector. He is a massive boy and is very good to his hens but I have another Ameracauna rooster and one boy crowing is enough for my neighbors. His sister lays beautiful sage green eggs so he'd make...

    How old do male bantams start crowing?

    My Old English bantam, James, was crowing at 6 weeks and is 10 weeks old and trying to mount 10 week old Ameracauna pullets! Do they mature early sexually, as well???

    Chickens in a Florida winter...what to do?

    This is my first winter with chickens in the Tampa area. I have small windows on the north and south sides for ventilation that I run a window fan for a crossbreeze through the summer. I planned on just shutting off the fan for the winter and letting them be. Their roosting bar is above the...

    The Imported English Jubilee Orpington Thread

    [/IMG] I got two Jubilee Orpington chicks at a day old on May 15th. This one is a bit larger than the other and seems to be trying to mount my laying silkies the last couple of days. I thought it was a hen! No sign of comb or waggle at four months old but it is a bit bigger in stature and it's...

    Tampa Area 2 Three Mos RIR Roosters

    I accidentally got two RIR roosters from Tractor Supply. They were born April 1st and are very friendly thus far, eating out of our hands and sitting on our laps. Neighbors won't tolerate them once the crowing starts. Free to a good home or if you have an old hen you need to rehome because she...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    One is relentlessly chasing and pecking the other. No sign of injury at all but should I separate them or let them worknow it out? I have 2 Favacaunas, 2 Ameraucanas and 2 Jubilee Orpingtons in a large pen together and they've been together since 2 days old. The smallest of ALL of them is the...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    I took a gamble on two straight run lavenders that were born on May 19th. Is it looking like I have two little cockerells? They seem to spend a lot of time chest bumping and chasing each other around!
