Trelawnyd has never seen a finer disabled rooster then Cogburn was .He died in true cowboy fashion - with his boots on ( in the figurative sense of course).<br />Cogburn will be missed. His passing reminds me of the line from Amazing Grace "T'was blind, but now I see". I shall hum a verse or two in remembrence of Rooster Cogburn, who was a fine rooster.Ellen in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484004145095198712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-33076225840212040782013-12-17T23:27:14.797+00:002013-12-17T23:27:14.797+00:00Too sad.

Glad you are putting him by the badger set - we always recycle our chickens in this way by leaving them out for the fox. Sadly, by the time they die, there is often not much left in the way of meat on them, but they always get taken overnight.
