My daughter doesnt like mean roosters either.. He was not eaten(I have never cleaned anything but fish ) he was a pet and nothing more. I didnt see him as meat.

I mean shes welcome to unbury him and take him home if she likes

He was sweet on humans just not my flock. So he had to go. I had no room to house 3 roosters 3 hens and 2 ducks. So I had to make a difficult decision. None the less my little Nermal will always be remember. Thanks for the smile though I really needed that

Be proud of yourself that you did a tough but responsible thing. So many people take their unwanted animals and dump them out in the country or along the highway as if this is somehow better than putting them down humanely.

Thanks Hummingbird Hollow. I felt in my heart it was the right decision for the rooster. Nermal. Although he was sweet to us he wasn't to my flock. I appreciate all the sentiment and hugs i have gotten it has deff made my day alittle easier to cope with. I just never want to have to cull another animal in my life. So Bobby (whom is also mean.) Will spend his days with us in a separate coop and someday may have his own flock to parade around. In the mean time I will take pictures of Nermals grave has I have a great idea to help give him some peace.

He is going to have a chicken coop run kinda thing around his grave with grass planted on top or his grave. Around the outside of the fence I am going to plant morning glory seeds that will grow up along the fence and eventually enclose and bloom ever year. Just to give him that sanctuary he never had. He will never get picked on or have to pick on others ever again. He will rest sound-fully knowing that he is protected and remains a big part in my heart.

There for I am creating a place called "Nermal's Sanctuary.
