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.

Love your blog! Such great info for a new chicken mama.
RIP Blaze… my new chicks would love the new feeder…
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.
Thank you for keeping us informed….and for the opportunity to enter
thank you for telling the whole story on keeping chickens. I offer my condolences for your loss of Blaze, and hope you have the answer soon. He was lucky to be a member of your flock! <3
