I just moved to Ybor on Jan 10, 2009 (into a condo, no less) from Tucson. The chickens of Ybor are one more item that make the place unique. I enjoy watching them (some have beautiful plummage) and (after just a couple of mornings) I got used to them crowing in the morning. The chicks and cocks need to stay and I’ll be one who takes to the streets if anyone tries to remove them. Keep Ybor Unique!

Chickens destroy yards and can carry diseases to pets and people. They poop everywhere, possibly where there are children playing. And there’s the fact that there are reports that people are purposefully killing off chickens. I, Sami (I am a girl, thank you very much) say, for our safety and the chickens, round ‘em up and put them on a farm, not in a city where they can be run over by some idiot speeding. Thanks

Pam you crack me up! LONG LIVE THE CHICKENS!

By: Pam

Jose, I know who you are talking about. I think so too. One of your neighbors saw them taking pictures of the area between the street and sidewalk. After 2 years of these lawyers that live outside of Ybor but have an office here and are constantly replacing grass, one would think they were smart enough to realize the grubs are killing their grass and when the grass is dead, the chickens will then rip it to pieces looking for the grubs. Kill the grubs for goodness sakes. Then re-plant your grass.

There seems to be possibly of 4 people that got together to bring us to where we are today.

Wouldn’t surprise me if your “brick street and crosswalk because I hate the noise corner neighbor” wasn’t involved either. We’ve had reports…………

Prayer over my desk at work:
Lord
May those that love us walk staight and upright
and those that don’t,
Please turn their ankles so that we may recognize them by their limp.
Amen

Look for 4 limping men in Ybor City!!!!!

Just to clarify and pick up on Pam’s comments, the birds have been here from the start; as long as people have lived in Ybor.

The trick with Ybor is getting all these different factions to co-exist. Regarding noise, I’ve been to cities all over the country with night clubs that don’t blast their neighbors out of their homes. Keep your club inside your club. don’t trash the place with flyers and don’t make me listen to your crappy cover band 6 blocks away. You know, simple stuff.

David -
99% of us living in Ybor love the chickens and the brick streets. We are not OK with EXCESIVE noise blasting from clubs … why should we, it’s them who are at fault, by law, look it up. In any rate, my point is, people who live in Ybor love Ybor the way it is. If anyone is trying to get rid of the chickens , my guess is, is someone who is really disgruntled about their lawn being ripped up. And I think I have a guess of who it was…
