So, I feel like I should say why I am Poka_Doodle.
The name is from my Bantam rooster, Poka. Now, thou may ask how he got his name, the answer is that when he started to crow it sounded like his name. Also when I took him into the barn at night in hopes of keeping the neighbors peaceful he would freak out and say his name. And the Doodle part of my name, basically the most Poka ever got in his crows.
Poka got sick this spring and died a week after turning 1 in May. The day was good for both of us, I won a cake decorating contest and Poke ( his nickname, just like what you can call me if you don't want to call me Jane) got peace. When we looked back, he had struggled his while life and was ready. I had been thinking before about letting him go in my hands, but my dad never looked until a week before he died and mentioned it but then didn't do anything. I think his sister Tinamight knew, she had been cuddling with him each night until not long before he went when she stopped cuddling and slept in a different nest box.
RIP Poka

In certain times we learn to feel for our animals, sure we miss them but it is a happy reason, they are feeling better

I agree, sometimes you just have to do what is best for the animal, even though it means you have to say goodbye!

Do you know what he died from?
I am sorry, like you, my favorite "babies" are my bantams.
It is hard with any of them but it seems like it is our favorite one that something ends up happening.

We traced it back to heart failure we THINK, not exactly sure. I also love Bantams, the breed that he was has turned bad. As a lot of you I think know I lost his sister my best friend and showmanship bird in Halloween, and one of his other sisters got sick last fall and went to God, the remaining sibling is a runt. Annoying Murray McMurray genetics.Do you know what he died from?
