Okay, did he die?

No idea, I think they may have eaten him

He was a good boy and a bad boy. Attacked me everyday but protected his girls very well from predators. He killed a hawk once.

Barred Rock cockerels/Roosters have a tendency of being human aggressive, so it's not their fault their that way. I haven't heard of a friendly one yet.

Yeah me too. It’s pretty disappointing though since I love them for their looks!

I'm keeping mine, even if he turns out mean. He got so spoiled when he had a crop blockage at 4 weeks old.

My Barred Rock, Peepy McPeeperson! Sadly, Peepy was nabbed by a Red-tailed Hawk a few months ago. She was not show quality but she was so friendly and curious!

Sorry you lost her.

She was still pretty.
