    This is a roo right?

    This is tiger, about 2 months old now and is an indio gigante. Looks like it should be a rooster but tigers never crowed and doesn't act like any rooster I've ever seen or taken care of.

    Indio Gigante in the snow

    I have a group of Indio hatching eggs in my incubator. (Fingers crossed that all goes well!) How do you guys do winters with chickens from warmer climates? Do I need to make them a little sweater? I know they can have some bare spots on their bodies. I just want to be prepared. I am so excited...

    Indio Gigante acting differently

    Hi! We've recently bought an Indio Gigante male about 6months old. The first few days was fine, then we've decided to mix him with a few hens so he could try to breed with them. (He hasn't touched one of them yet). About 2 days or so was fine, but today he was making some unusual noises and...
