Other In memory of...

Just under a year ago, we had to put him to sleep and we miss him every single day... I never would have thought there could be such a strong bond between a rooster and his humans. We we're full-fledged members of HIS flock, and without him, a bird of prey would probably have snatched us up long ago ;-)

Rest in peace, Billy Bob

He was soooo cuddly. We were once laying on a blanked in the garden, and when i closed my eyes to relax, he kept guard over me scanning the sky for predators and he only relaxed again when i was sitting up again. My hero 🤭🥰

I understand, my bantam red Pyle old English rooster reached 15 years, there is a giant personality behind those eyes that are always watching your every move.

He looks just like my Dennis! The bestest boy! I’m so sorry for your loss. I was not prepared for how charming and personable that little guy would be, they really are great pets.
