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 am sure your flock is missing Blaze. My girls get upset when we have to take Gert (who tends to go broody) into the broody buster away from them. They cluck and search for her until her return. So sorry for your loss.
