Had to euthanize poor Stephen this am. Went out to his coop and couldn't stand to let him go on. He wasn't the bird I knew even last night when he was breeding a hen!
I will add he has left a great legacy with various breeders around Ontario.
RIP Stephen

Re: RIP Stephen
So sad to have to say goodbye, but it sounds like it was time. He's lucky to have been part of your flock, KB.
Rest in peace, Stephen.

Re: RIP Stephen
He was only 4. I guess it's high stress being a Tom.

I feel so sorry for your loss KB. Hopefully you have some of his offspring to carry on.

I'm sorry to hear KB.
But glad you had many nice coffee dates, and good memories.
