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 Kathy – your blog is a great resource! Just found it yesterday. I am new to chickens – bought six chickens about 7 weeks ago. We have pretty much no idea what we are doing. We are originally from the city but now have turned into country folk :) Have been reading all about how to insulate the coop, tips on deterring predators, feeder ideas – wow this is great stuff! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with others!
That is so sad about Blaze :( I never know how much personality chickens had until we got some to raise! I love them!!
I just got 4 of my first babies and I bet they would love a grandpas feeder when they go outside.
Sorry about Blaze. A Grandpa’s feeder would be great for keeping the food dry.
Thanks for sharing all of this information and for thechance to win this unique feeder.
