Oh Dana, I'm so sorry. He was a beauty~!I am so depressed...I found my beautiful Blue Isbar rooster Fowler dead this morning. There wasn't a single mark on him; it looks like he just laid down and went to sleep.
He was just starting to get friendly with his ladies (who are just shy of 18 weeks), so I didn't even get a chance at any fertile eggs. He was the *nicest* boy; so sweet and good-natured. Sigh. I will miss him terribly. Why do these things happen?!? Can't believe he's gone...
Dana, I am so sorry for your lost. It's horrible!!!! He was definitely gorgeous! It's weird because my favorite and gorgeous splash silkie roo died yesterday from the exact same symptoms..... No symptoms!!! Went to bed and didn't wake up. It is so upsetting (I didn't get the chance either to get any fertile eggs) and now I gotta found another one and start from zero, arg!I am so depressed...I found my beautiful Blue Isbar rooster Fowler dead this morning.
