I just had to say goodbye to my Speckeled Sussex rooster. He has been to two shows with me in the past, he disqualified at Stock Show in January. I have gotten close to him, and now at the point that he behaves, he has to go. It will be another late night for me, that last one that I actually should have a chance at a good sleep before things get busy, I won't. Oh well in three weeks I might be able to sleep in. Speaking of sleep this morning I put up with the annoying wild birds to here my rooster crow for the final time in the morning.:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit:hit

I am so sorry! :hugs

I know that even when they turn out mean or naughty, it is still hard to give them up when we have raised and spent time with our poultry. We have been in your shoes before. :hugs

Thanks. I am really missing him. I think that I will bury him today. His collar is in my room, so I have that memory, no idea what to do with it though.

I find that years down the road, collars from friends that are long gone, bring happy memories...maybe hold on to it. Stash it in a box for now.
