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 sad to hear about Blaze..he was a HANDSOME boy. Will be interested in the final report.
So sorry to hear about Blaze. It’s never easy to lose a family member.

the feeder would be awful fun for the kids
So sorry to hear about Blaze, keep us in the loop! I would love to try Grandpa’s feeders, maybe it would help with a new chicken behavior we have discovered…..our largest hen, Repeckah, will jump up from the ground and beak-butt the gravity fed feeder. She likes to shake down the good stuff from the top. I really do need to catch it on video, it is quite entertaining.
Sorry about your roo :(
