Vintage Suede: My Late Beloved Rooster, Suede, with Isaac Cameo
Found an old short clip of my big old Blue Orpington rooster, Suede, fussing with another very fondly remembered rooster, my late Delaware, Isaac.

Beautiful Brahma youngsters outside today. Some of the males, both partridge and blue partridge will be for sale soon! You cannot get the partridge variety at any of the big hatcheries, only small boutique style ones for BIG BUCKS! These will be more affordable. Hatched from a breeder in New York who breeds to the Standard of Perfection for Brahmas. If you want a GIANT rooster, these are for you!

First, let me apologize for the coughing in the background of the video through a good portion of it. My husband's new BP meds are causing it. I didn't even notice until I was editing, sorry!
A member of BYC contacted me for advice recently while in the midst of a chicken emergency and I hope that going through this series of events, adding my take on them, will help you in the future with your own chicken health mysteries.

Staying home is not unusual for us, though *having* to stay home is. We're going to see what all the fuss is about by watching a few episodes of Season One of a very popular and long-running TV series in between working on our garden and tending the chickens.
