Thank you, Kathy. He was a love, my good friend and protector. He got a lot of folks interested in the breed again. I can't believe he's been gone a month. Still can't get used to his absence, but he lived longer than I expected he would and was in good spirits and doing all the things he loved...

An update: Isaac's hens are adjusting to being with Deacon, the blue Rock hens more so than the head hen, June. June is having the most difficult time accepting Deacon, but even Georgie who has never been with another rooster other than Isaac (and Deacon when he was much younger), has accepted...

Aren't you a sweetheart! Thank you. It's difficult getting used to his absence but he lived a great life and always had adoring hens. He was a rock star around here. In fact, when I was picking my breeding male to keep out of the hatch he came from, at six weeks of age, I said to the breeder...

Thank you so much. Yes, Isaac was super special.

This is at the head of the cemetary that contains Isaac, Suede, Shadow, Sunny & Riley who died the same day for different reasons, Rex, Ellie, Meg, little Jenny (D'anver, neurological problem), Fern and Barbara and a couple of others. I'm not even sure which is which anymore. Hawkeye and Zane...

I guess I couldn't ask for more for him, other than, of course, that he live with me forever. I can't get the sight of him laying there out of my mind. Even with meds for my headache and to help me sleep, I was awake until after 3 a.m.. Heard a fox do his alarm bark about 10 times in a row...

Atlas and Deacon are so confused. They are listening for his voice and both of them kept looking at me intently, right in my face, as if they wanted me to explain what happened. Atlas got off the roost when I told him that his grandpa was gone and wouldn't be coming back, which I did because he...

Back when I hatched the batch from the group Janet Holtman had before Isaac's, I posted so many photos and talked about the Delaware breed's tenuous future, that breeders were trying to pull it back from extinction, to fix the issues hatcheries had caused by crossing in other breeds, etc. So...

Thank you both. Isaac was a real rock star around here. He was amazingly sweet and passed that on to his sons, grandsons and great grandsons. This video was taken three years ago when Ladyhawk's daughter, Cheyenne, first met Isaac. Yup, this weekend was the first time he'd ever seen this...

Our hearts are heavy with grief over the loss of a wise, benevolent and patient flock leader. Isaac passed away today on the exact day that our big Blue Orpington rooster, Suede, passed back in 2012. September 20, 2012 Suede passed away, but I knew it was coming. Today, Isaac's passing was...
