RIP Old Boy

It brings me great sadness to tell everyone that Old Boy died today. That little up and coming rooster beat him up and killed him early this morning. It must have happened very quickly as we didn't hear anything. Poor Old Boy.

He had a good innings as Papa said, but I'm still upset. I knew this day would happen, but I was really hoping he'd die of old age. Only yesterday did he surprise us all by letting the baby chicks cuddle under his wing as they slept.

Good night Old Boy.

OH NO!!!!!
Say it ain't so.
I'm actually pretty distraught about this, he was a legend. We all offer our deepest condolences, he was a good rooster. ((sniffles)) :(

It is sadly and as it turns out I'm not dealing with the loss very well. I've taken to seeking vengence with the rooster that killed him. I tried to run him over with the car earlier today. What have I become?

Farewell my favourite Aussie battler. He was a real trooper, and a one of a kind rooster. Melba, if you need someone to take out the rooster responsible, I'll see what I can do. I know people, who know people...anything for Old Boy. He'll be missed. Truly sad.

RIP Old Boy. Even at his age, he always looked good.
