How did the kids handle the loss?

They were fine with the loss. We had a nice funeral in the back yard and he was shrouded in my best top grade Bounty paper towels. We planted a cactus on him so he can forever sleep under the cacti, which was his favorite place to sleep.

Meanwhile the girls haven't missed a beat and have started eating out of my hand again, something he wouldn't allow them to do. They are reforming their pecking order and working on finding a new chicken pile area to sleep in.

For anyone thinking of going the same way I did, it was easy and he passed in under two minutes. I sat with him the whole time. I never want to have to do that ever again as long as I live.

How did you 'do it'?
Maybe I missed that part.

So your ruse of 'finding' him dead fooled the kids?
Glad they took it well.

No one can go outside without a broom except my husband.

Didn't this rooster attack your husband?

I would not keep a rooster that terrorizes kids. I also don't have the patience for one who attacks me. He'd have been a goner with the first spurring.


Take him to the vet, have him put down.


That does put a kink in the works, doesn't it? (I am a paraprofessional in our local school and have worked with students with autism.) So, maybe you can take him to the vet while the kids aren't home and then put the body in the backyard and "discover" it? (If it weren't for your son's circumstances, I'd say, you're the parent, you get to make the decisions, but I do get that autism complicates things.)

and best Idea I have seen

Dry Ice. Quick and easy. Slipped him under the cactus "found" him the next morning.

And no he never attacked my husband. Just the rest of us including any dog, cat, squirrel, or toad in the yard.

Wow, well done! Bravo! Not applauding the death but totally clapping for the technique.

Poor kids haven't a clue that dear ol' mom did the deed.... hahaha.
