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.

Your comments totally make the pictures!
Thank you for the chance to win the feeder !!
Oh my, how sad! Not knowing is the worse. I hope the test results reveal something so you have closure. I ha e a little runt I’m rooting for here… Hoping she makes it as she’s full of personality! Time will tell…. I’ve been reading up on the grandpas feeders lately, hemming and hawing about investing so much in a feeder as they aren’t cheap. But I think the field Mice are giving my flock a run for their money (and my budget a serious dent) as I am filling the feeders every 3 days just to keep something in… Read more »
