We lost our rooster overnight. Nicest one we've had and also quietest. And the only chicken we've named (others become dinner, don't name your dinner). I expected to lose a bird or two with the polar vortex cold because some are getting old, but he went when the weather warmed up. Not sure what happened. No trauma on him.
Kiddo was a little sad since this was the first rooster that didn't try to attack him (which was why we kept him and not any of the other ones)
@Kurtroedeger 😢 My condolences.. That blows.
What was his name?
@jordicusmaximus his name was Punkaboo , which is a Pokemon or such that he had the same coloring as.
I'm not overly attached to any of the birds, but he was pretty nice and I feel bad for the kiddo.
His first question was, "so no more Chickie's now?!" Because we usually hatch a brood most years
We'll get another rooster sometime and hatch chicks again.
@Kurtroedeger @jordicusmaximus
Pokémon is Pumpkaboo, according to my daughter.
@Kitty62862 @jordicusmaximus don't ask me to spell Pokemon. 🙄 We play hangman and house rule now is no Pokemon names.
@jordicusmaximus @Kitty62862 here's a better picture of him with sunlight to make his colors pop. He was hatched in the spring of 2015.

Handsome dude!
Sorry for your loss. 4 is old for a rooster?
@Kitty62862 4 is not super old, but not a spring chicken either. We've had birds live longer and some not as long.

Awww... hope your child will be alright. Anyone’s first realization of death is difficult 💜
