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.

I’m sorry for your loss of Blaze. I know how hard it is to lose a favorite chicken. I lost my favorite hen when someone went into my coop one night last year and killed her. We now lock the coop with a padlock and chain because of that incident. The Grandpa’s Feeder looks like the answer to my mouse in the feeder problem! I’d love to try one.
