Hi, it is a sad and confusing day. After months of looking for the perfect rooster to protect and breed with my pullets, we found him dead in the coop this morning. He was approx. 8 months old and was in perfect health. He was eating, drinking, and pooping just fine. The only change in his behavior that I noticed was last night we went to roost about an hour before dark which is abnormal for him. He was roosting before the hens were even in the coop.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? I don't have any predator problems here and there was no bulling going on in my flock. The hens loved him and he was the only rooster. If you have any ideas please help.
P.S. I don't know if it is relevent but he was an Easter Egger. My profile picture is him.
