Omgosh, I just lost my chicken boy about six weeks ago. I still miss his sleepy 2 a.m. crows. Loved, loved that guy. I was so proud of him. I don't understand it sometimes the way the youngest and strongest end up dying. Yeah, I know what you mean about the grieving, people don't understand generally. They might understand dogs or cats but not chickens. I loved my rooster boy. I tried not to because I didn't want to jiinx him. I know what you are going through.
I've had a couple people offer their extra rooster and I can't bring myself to take one. I'd really just like to have HIM but maybe someday I'll run across another nice RIR. I've had several now and they've all been good boys. I almost scrambled to incubate some of his hen's eggs but didn't go through with it. You could do that and at least have one of his offspring. Anyway, I know it's so upsetting. Hang in there.
