I wish. I cannot because we live in town. Which sucks, because one of our neighbors had a rooster for part of the summer and I loved hearing it. But I would be heartbroken if I adopted one from you had to get rid of it because of the city ordinances. We’ve been trying to find a way to have a rooster for a while now, but there just doesn’t seem to be a way around it until we move. Once we move I would definitely take one, though, they are beautiful.
Look at those cute little girls fighting over the box
There was no fighting. The two had been peacefully (if you ignore the Legbar's growling) for more than an hour. The outsider, after checking things out, chose a different nest box.
I should add, they are only 2-3' tall each, and the flowers are no larger than my hand. Lots of them on the roadsides down here.
Those appear to be the wild native sunflowers. They will tolerate a little water but come up naturally where the water is sparse. They grow wild along the road right of ways.
How neat! Are they truly native then? We had some growing in our backyard, too, which was nice to see.
I believe so but have never checked them out. They are an annual. I have tried to germinate the seeds without success but they germinate well in their xeric environment. Too much water and they don't germinate.
