RIP Pharaoh

Our take

Today, we bid farewell to Pharaoh, a true protector of his flock. This brave boy gave his all this afternoon, standing up to a large bobcat to keep his ladies safe. While he could be a bit of a rascal at times, his dedication was unwavering, and I am forever grateful for his service. The shock of losing him so close to me—just 20 feet away—is still sinking in, and the tears have flowed freely. As we work on building a spacious walk-in coop and run, I can’t help but reflect on the sacrifice he made. Pharaoh deserves a tribute worthy of a hero, and I’ll find a way to honor his memory. Rest easy, dear friend; your bravery will never be forgotten.

~RIP my boy. You served us well~

He gave his life this afternoon protecting his ladies. He was a pain in my ass but he did his job well and I am grateful. I can’t think of how to repay his sacrifice, but I will in time. He deserves the respect I gave him. All my girls are safe in their run now.

A large bobcat. At 3:30 this afternoon. I haven’t been able to stop crying until now. I didn’t let it take him. He fought for them with his life which is exactly what I knew he would do.

We are in the process of building a walk in coop and huge run but it’s not finished so we still free range while we’re outside with them. I’m still in shock that the bobcat came up that close with me 20’ away.

I’m still in shock. But I wanted to pay tribute to him because he deserves a medal of honor in my book
