Please Be Seated For Bucky's Funeral

[M To The Maxx]

Here Lies the spot of a great rooster. One who always looked out for his hens and was a great rooster to be around. He was a handsome bird and always my favorite.

R.I.P. Bucky R.I.P.

It was about 2 months ago that I heard squaking and screeching in our pen so I ran out and I saw all the hens running in the coops and Bucky with blood covered all over him. I also saw a coon. Bucky was fightning the coon. I tried to get in there but my parents stopped me because they didn't want me to get hurt by the coon. So all I could do was watch and wait till my brother got home from the shooting range to kill the coon. by the time Chad (my bro) got home I knew the time for Bucky was little. Chad "executed" the coon and we got Bucky out of the run. It was not much but a hour later that Bucky had passed. He died protecting his hens. I don;t know what other rooster would do that. Bucky was the best rooster I have ever had. R.I.P. Bucky.
Here are some more of his pics.

As all people should, we must look forward to the future. We now have a new rooster in command. Bucky's son B.J. Also his new sidekick we adopted named Phoenix. Here are who is taking Bucky's place.

Bucky's son B.J.

Phoenix the 2nd roo in command.

Hold your head up high for Bucky.He did his job. He is worthy of honor,not sorrow.

What a great memorial for a great roo. Clearly, Bucky was a beloved member of your flock. He's a very handsome roo, too!

Be sure to secure your coop to prevent any future occurrences.

My condolences.

Sorry you lost Bucky Maxx

There's a line in Lord of the Rings that seems to fit here... as Theodan is dieing he tells Eowyn he's ready to go to the halls of his Fathers, "in whose mighty presence he will no longer be ashamed."

Truly, Bucky's death could bring no greater honor to himself.

Bucky died doing what was his mission in life, to protect his girls. Be very proud of him for that! It's wild how much BJ and your new EE roo look alike!

I'd much rather my roosters die defending the flock than be struck down by some illness. That is what they were born to do. Chokes me up every time I hear one of those stories of a valiant rooster laying down his life for his girls.

He is now officially protecting the hens in God's coop. What a handsome boy he was. And his son is equally as beautiful. My sympathy to you for your loss.
