------ BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA - SATURDAY AUGUST 6TH ------ 9AM - 2PM -------

Come join a local swap between Tampa and Ocala at the Brooksville Tractor supply store, 18741 Cortez Blvd. Brooksville, fl 34601. Please let me know if you are interested in attending and what you might bring so we can compile a list for the store as well as other people here on the board. The store is passing out flyers so it should be a good day. Please bring tents for shade as they have limited shade there.


The store is located on the 50 bypass, approx 12 miles from I-75 and Cortez Blvd (Hwy 50)- Exit 301, 5 miles from the suncoast parkway – Exit 46, Other options include coming from US-41 or US-98. SEE MAP BELOW

I might have some CoCo maran cross hens (currently laying), Some pure black australorp hens (some are laying), a mix of rooster crosses. Our cross breads are fast growers and early layers, we have a mixture of Coco Maran, Copper Maran, Black Australorp and Buff Orpingtons . These are great if you are just looking for egg layers and meat birds.



I should have some coops, bat houses and nest boxes at the swap/ sale:

Here are some pictures of what I might have at the swap:

Here are my single nest boxes, they are 3/8 plywood (3ply) put together with brads and construction adhesive. They also have a linoleum floor covering for east cleaning.

Single chamber bat houses are built to UF publication WEC246 Effective bat houses for Florida, the 4 chamber will be built to the same standard, but I do not have pictures of those yet. They are built with 3/8" plywood (3ply), groves cut every 1/2" o.c., the interior is finished in a dark stain, secured with screws and construction adhesive. The exterior has been caulked, painted with 1 cost of oil based primer and 1 coat of light gray exterior oil based paint.
