The passing of Mr Rooster

Our beloved Mr. Rooster died today.  It was a sad day for all.  He had graced our pressence for nearly 3 years.  When Brian and the boys picked him up at a swap meet and brought him home he was kind of mean to the hens.  We placed him in a separate cage so he wouldn’t hurt any of them.  He would be taken out to walk around the yard when the ladies were busy elsewhere,  he would strut around the yard like nobody’s business.  Eventually we incorporated him into the flock and he became the protector of all in the coop.  Protecting the hens was his top priority, he took his job very seriously.  In the last year he had a harder time getting around and hung out more in the coop than out, younger roosters moved in and he passed the torch like a trooper.  He was still was a sight to watch as he moved about.  We will miss him.
