Mystery

Sadly it isn’t the usual mystery we get around here. They tend to be mostly amusing, this isn’t. Last year a friend gave me a gorgeous and very large rooster named Oscar. Oscar was a good rooster, quiet, gentle, and not a nuisance. But about a week ago he canished, and there’s been no sign of him since. My assumption is that he strayed onto the road, was run over, and the culprit, not wanting to confess, scooped up the body and dumped it elsewhere. The only good thing about this is that before be became ‘late’, he’d bred. I have three young birds he sired and five chicks, any of which may turn out to be male. If so at least his genes will continue even if he doesn’t. But it’s a mystery and I suspect it will remain unsolved.
