Update on Flynt. Sadly, he just passed away moments ago. He was doing very well when my fiance and I got home, eating and drinking and even managing to balance well on his legs. The fiance was watching TV and the roo started to bed down for the night. Then suddenly the rooster just sort of keeled over and passed. There was no warning at all.
This is unfortunate and very upsetting because he was my favorite little roo, but I'm glad the poor guy isn't going to suffer anymore.
Really sorry to hear that you've lost your Flynt ... was hopin' he'd respond better to treatment, but some things work too quickly, or even do great harm internally before symptoms present themselves. You work through this as you see fit, but be sure 'n go back a few posts as your reminder, and then you continue forward, tending the needs of your flock: They're resilient, and ever changing, as the individual birds are both fragile and temporary, by their very design ... be like the flock, and not the individual bird for too long, so you can continue to adore keepin' chickens ~'-)
