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.

Great feeder! Being new to chickens, I hadn’t even thought about rodents until your article. I would love to win it. Thanks!
This may be an older string but we would love to win that feeder (me and the girls and Rickie the rooster – proud papa of 5 hatchling Mille Fleur bantams.
feeder seems so great timely as well new girls wasted food
My state animal pathology lab does the necropsies free of charge. You can find yours here: http://www.the-chicken-chic…
There is a very simple “training” program that involves propping open the feeder for two weeks- the chickens train themselves, it’s an amazing feeder! I have never had a bird that was unable or unwilling to use it.
Thank you. ♥
