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.

Oh no, so sorry to hear about Blaze. Chickens sure know how to capture our hearts.
Oh I am sorry about Blaze. I know I love my Roos more than my hens. They have so much personality and the way they look out for their girls is endearing.
My chickens delight in three things: eating hostas, harassing my rottweilers and flinging their food around. At least one of these things I can do something about! Pick me!
I really need this as my flock is sure growing. 2 new babies this week! Sure is fun to watch momma sit on the eggs and then care for the babies!
It is so hard to lose a loved part of our family. I believe that all the others know also when one day they are missing someone. A feeder would be a big financial help.
