Hi! Upstate NY here!

[kimgirl26]

Hey I'm in upstate too!
What do you think is wrong with your rooster? I had a coccidiosis issue a month ago. How's his poop look?

He died that same day and I did my own autopsy and the only thing I saw out of place was he had a very long piece of straw stuck between his crop and esophagus so he may have choked. I treated my flock for worms because I thought that could have been an issue and I haven't had any problems since (except 2 that have leg injuries). As far as poop I hadn't seen any that morning and I had to go to work. When I got home he was gone.

Howdy! Nice to meet another upstater who has more than 30 chickens! I'm very sorry to hear about your rooster.
Anyway, we're very happy you could join our flock!
