    2 free buff Brahma bantam roosters to good home magnolia, TX

    Both boys are great and healthy. Very spunky and not flighty like a lot of Roos. Bought them at 3 days old, told they were pullets and that is not the case. Both are sweet but are trying to mount my hens (as they will of course) and the girls are NOT having it. Let me know if you are interested.
