Sad day for me...

​Our only rooster Lucky died yesterday. He was really nice to me! He never chased or pecked me, like alot of roosters do.  He was a great friend to all the hens...in fact, he found food for them instead of for himself and when danger was flying above he would run for cover and all the hens would follow him! Whenever one of the hens laid an egg he would say a

"cock-a-doodle-doo!!"

for them. I think he was saying
"good job, congrats!" 

 He earned his name "LUCKY" because he was attacked by a dog and an owl and survived both times.  Each time he lost just his tail feathers..so it was a good thing those were there... acting sorta like disposable parts of his body that he could loose and grow back which he did! You can see all his tail feathers here how handsome he was.   

I'm wondering if the hens are going to miss him?  I will miss those morning wake up calls...even if they were earlier than before the sun came up.  

I hope you get to see Goldy when you get there...try to look for her. She will be super excited to see you!!

Rest in peace

LUCKY
