The flock hasn’t been the same since our fearless leader Blaze passed away. The preliminary necropsy report ruled out trauma as a cause of death, so we know for certain that none of the other roosters were to blame for his untimely departure. An enlarged spleen was the only abnormal finding in the post mortem exam, but the results from the tissue samples offered no definitive cause for the enlarged spleen.

Would love to win! thanks for the chance!
Already added to my wishlist! I also subscribed to your blog. Amazin Grazers told me about you.
sorry for the loss of Blaze. He was a very handsome boy. do you have any links on how a loss affects the rest of the flock? i am curious because i have 2 hens and i worry that it would be traumatic for the other if something were to happen. i once had a cockatiel stop eating (and eventually died) after a dove i cared for flew away. again my condolances on your loss and my best wishes for Rachel.
