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.

Wow, so strange. So sorry for you and the flock, he was marvelous! On a lighter note, a Grandpa’s Feeder would be great to win!!

With this feeder and my Chicken Fountain I can spend my daily chicken time inspecting and observing them more closely instead of just attending to their feed and water.
