I'm so sorry for your loss

I can't picture birchen in my head, but if I remember correctly, it's a beautiful color. It's always the favorites that go, it seems.

Thank you all for your wonderful posts. Here is a picture of my rooster taken some time ago. Thankfully, I have eggs in the bator. Sure hope they hatch.

So Sorry to hear about your rooster!

I would like to know about your pen. I am just a few weeks into the chickens and we have tried to fix so predators cannot get inside. But, I still worry. We have lots of coyotes, possums and raccoons. Was your rooster penned inside a building or in a fenced in lot?
I have the cutest bantam rooster and would hate to loose him and can only imagine how you feel!

Antiquebuff,
My chickens are inside a shed type building coop about 14 x 20 ft. Ten top with wire around the sides. The possum scratched underneath and came in. I guess we are just infested with critters. I am going to set a live bait trap to catch any others that may be lurking with the same idea.

Glad you got him before he bit you. Sorry about your rooster, maybe you will get one just like him in your hatch.
