I am so sad...
« on: March 24, 2010, 06:16:58 PM »
Went out this morning to feed and found my Speckled Sussex rooster dead! I am so sad he was one of my favorites!  :bawling: He was such a good boy. I will miss him!!!

I was not planning on hatching any chicks this spring because I am trying to down size my flock...but now I may so I can get another SS rooster. I just loved him!  :bawling:

Not the best picture of him but here he is...

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

He was very handsome.  Sorry you lost him.  I have no idea what the life span is of chickens.

Yes they can live to 10 or so...but unfortunately they are more likely to be killed by a predator than live that long.
