I lost my main cock back in November. Came home from work and he was laying in the front yard near the corn field half eaten. Ticked me off, as he was the A house cock and put some nice front ends on the pullets/hens.
This year is gonna be a crap shoot with Cock B and new Cockerel for C pen. I didn't have another cockerel at that point to replace him, so three pens and only 2 cocks.
What breed was the roo that you lost, and what state are you in, just in case someone might have an extra roo for you?
