Ok... I have/had the best rooster ever. He protected his girls, kept them together. Was gentle didn't tear up any backs. Just an all out wonderful Roo. Last week there was a daytime coon attack on my yard by a juvenile raccoon. He did his manly duty, saved his girls. No one was lost. A lot of lost feathers, and a sprained wing, and Mr. Fluffers got the worst of it. No external injuries, but apparenlty more injured than I thought. I have been treating him for about a week with special attention, antibiotics, poutlry drench. Standing guard so he can eat. He would let the girls eat all his treats, hes that good. I thought he was going to pull through. I was hoping. I buried him this morning.

Well done Mr. Fluffers....

OH how sad! I'm so sorry NovAaman!

 

[NovaAman]

Thanks all. He really truly was a great roo. The first one I ever owned, and he was perfectly lovely. I miss his crow most of all, and his girls are just everywhere!

Sounds like he was a real prince! So sorry.

What breed is he?

 

[NovaAman]

Faverolle.... One of the most beautiful birds I have ever had!

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Well, of course! Should have figured it out from being on Derp's thread! Did I just do a "derp"?

Mr. Fluffers was a gorgeous gentleman! You and his ladies must miss him terribly.
