So wonderful for you to share such a touching story of how he died saving his hens. I'm sure you are very proud of him. I know your loss and I feel your pain, as I can imagine you were attached to him. Glad that he had you to love him so much.
He is such a beautiful roo, and his son BJ is also so handsome. You have some very good looking roos, and some very lucky lady hens, being taken care of by good roos.
Hope you find a way to secure your coop or run, to make it more predator proof. They are such beautiful birds.
