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.

So sorry for your loss..my heart goes out to you and yours..
We are new to the owning chickens world…My neighbor has had them for years and we have finally joined the growing family of chicken owners. Grandpa’s feeder would be a great way to make sure our new flock stays healthy! Thanks for sharing all you have learned over the years of being a successful chicken owner!
It’s always sad to lose a friend. Sorry for your loss. What a handsome guy. Thank you for sharing and building this community. And thank you for the exiting giveaways.
With bird flu in Iowa, next state east, I’m almost afraid to turn my new pullets out, now 2 weeks old. Will be very interested to hear results about Blaze, such a beautiful rooster and a great loss for you. Am still hoping to win one of these wonderful feeders.
I’m sorry about Blaze. As a lifetime dog owner they are my furry babies. I’m excited and afraid to get attached to the 8 little feathered lives headed my way soon. So much to worry about. But so much to look forward to. I’m happy you had Blaze for as long as you did..it’s obvious you two were meant to be together on this planet.
