Sam's Memorial

Hello again, followers of this blog, which I imagine is actually a very small group.
Sad news: my rooster Sam, the sick one, he passed away a week ago, and I don't even know what caused it for sure. I can guarantee you that there has NEVER been a chicken in all of human history that has been loved or treated even one fifth as much as Sam, except for our other hen, Daisy.
Speaking of Daisy, she seems as though she might be a little bit under the weather, and I am of course worried. She was kept separate from the rooster, and had no contact with him, but is just now staying pretty stationary in her cage. She is eating and drinking, and laying. It has been very hot up in New England lately, and perhaps she is just molting, as I have seen a few feathers along the bottom of her cage, and her laying does seem decreased a little bit. I have noticed on her what appears to be small bald spots, and I am not sure what this could be from except for molting. Whenever I go into her room, she makes a loud high pitched sound that almost sounds like a squeal or a scream. She actually doesn't seem to be doing to poorly, of course Sam seemed to be doing his best the day before he died.
I apologize for this post being on a sad note, but that's how life is. Thank you for reading, keep following, and if it is not too much too ask, remember Sam when you think of this blog.

Road to Recovery

Hello again, readers.

You may remember my last post of how my rooster was sick, but it seemed like he was recovering. He now seems like he has gotten worse, as he stays asleep and on his side most of the time, although he can stand, make noise, and drink on his own, he is just sleeping in most of the time that he would.

Here he is standing on a a towel, with some water right next to him. It seems as though being a refined space like a cage discourages him from moving. He has a lot of strength though, he can try to fight me off when he is tube-fed.
I tried to include a video in here of him, but something got messed up with the upload. When I get my SD card back I will try again.
Thanks for reading, keep following.
