My condolences. We sometimes complain about our roos, but they are often our heroes. He was a beautiful bird, and I know you mourn his loss. Hugs to you, and I hope more survivors show up. I had one come back a week after a dog attack and we live on a mountain top surrounding by woods (and coyotes).
Oh how sad; he was such a beauty. Its amazing how the roosters are the "heartbeat" of the flock. They are really missed. Im so sorry for you and your girls.
