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.

Where do you have your birds necropsied? Do you pay your vet or is there an extension service. I have been unable to find anyone willing to examine individual chickens unless I were to have a dozen dead chickens. Also, how long did it take your chickens to figure out the Grandpa’s feeder and did they all figure it out? I find the idea of the idea of it very intriguing, particularly for making the feed in accessible to rodents, but it would be a pricey mistake if they didn’t all take to it.

New chick mommy! I absolutely LOVE my girls! Coop is in progress, and am constantly looking for great ideas for care for my babies! This feeder looks awesome!I have not found a feeder for the coop yet that I’m impressed with, but this one seems great! I would feel like I won the jackpot if I won it! I follow you on fb and enjoy your posts. Be blessed!
