Well I did not get the banana bread made but did make pound cake. To much chicken drama today to do much baking. We lost one of the older pet roosters to an unknown illness. Sammy had been sickly his whole life. He had splay legs as a chick so I fixed his legs and he bonded to me. He and 2 buddies were allowed to live in a small coop near our porch and became known as the Porch Pirates. Sammy was the smallest, Buddy in the middle and Hector the biggest. We let them free range during the day all last summer. Hector started to get aggressive so we put he and Buddy into a small rooster coop and Sammy in with a few small hens. Sammy would come to me everyday to see if I had treats and allowed me to pick him up and get cuddles. I noticed Thursday afternoon that he wasn't acting right so I brought him into the infirmary for special treatment. He was dead this morning when I went to check on him. I have to admit I cried like he was my baby.
