Sad Day at Singleton Roost

When we first started with the chickens back in 2014, my cousin gave us a Phoenix rooster and hen.  We named them Woodrow and Charlotte.  They have been wonderful, gentle, great pets as well as amazing breeders for our Phoenix.  Woodrow has always been so easy on his hens.  Despite having long sharp spurs, he never once offered to use them on us.  We could pick him up, pick up Charlotte and his other hens, pick up chicks or whatever we needed to do and he seemed to understand that we were helping, not hurting.  I cannot say enough about the experiences we have had with this amazing rooster who has become a beloved pet.  He has given us gorgeous chicks with Charlotte and a few other hens we acquired. 

Woodrow was the first rooster to crow on this farm, and today we lost him.  He will be sorely missed!
Although we still have Phoenix roosters (his sons), there will never be another like Woodrow!
