Dead rooster.

[JOSEYWALES]

I have 50 chickens and don't you know the one that decides to die is my only rooster. Found him under the coop about 6 pm. It has been 100 deg. here today. I guess it was the heat no signs of a struggle. He was a Buff orp. Was just starting to grow on me too. Bummer!

Sorry for your loss. I wish you the best.

Thanks.

I am sorry for your loss. You are right, it was more than likely the heat that got to him

I don't think those Buffs do well in the heat.

My red stars, ee's and br's all seem to be handling the heat ok. The five buffs I have left are really suffering, I put out some ice but they dont want anything to do with it. Supposed to be 100+ again today. I hope they make it.
