Thank you. I'm sorry to be so gloomy on a wonderful thread like this. We were going to get rid of him, but the dog wasn't here to protect them, so we were going to keep him for a while longer, of course I was in love with him from the first. Sadly, the fox saved us from trying to re-home him...
My Buff Orp Rooster, Sir Rorzan William Tyson Zieman the First, was about the same age as Charlie, he fought something off one night, then the next week it (probably a fox) came back and carried him off, my boy has never been seen again. :(
