I didn’t want you all to wait until Sunday’s video to find out what happened with Shortstack. I spent a lot of time with him. He drank some water, ate some bread. I pet him and told him everyone was praying and pulling for him to get better. He was very weak and really did not show any signs of getting better. Sometime in the night he passed away. The other chickens are all fine. We will never know exactly what was wrong. I know we will all miss him. Thank you all very much for your prayers and concern.

The kunne pigs are so spoiled and they love every minute of it

You are such a great caretaker for your animals. Sending positive thoughts for Short Stack. Prayers for you and Grandma Adler Farms.

I love to hear you sing grandpa but sometimes even I think you've lost it, lol.

I hope all goes well for Shortstack. He really is a good looking Rooster. My heart aches when I see animals not feeling good. I hope he gets better soon. 🙏

Oh my Short Stack! He's such a good rooster and pretty to boot. Hope he is well soon.

Hope Shortstack gets better soon. Love to All Adler Family members! And the garden looks fantastic!💖

So, so sorry you lost Short Stack, Grandpa Adler. But as many others have said, you can rest easy knowing that you did everything you could for him. The kindness you show your animals is why I watch the channel. It's clear how much you care about each of them. And it's clear how much you care about all of us out here too, or you wouldn't have taken the time to post so quickly about Short Stack. You knew we'd be worrying that feisty little rooster. Thank you for that kindness. Candles flickering for you all tonight. 🧚‍♀️

Perhaps ask Jason from coghill he recently lost AC/DC his rooster

I am so sorry that you lost short stack he was a beautiful rooster. Smokey always makes me happy! She is always smiling. She will love having Bandit to play with and keep company. I do understand why you would have a problem keeping a LGD. I would want to bring them in the house and have them sleep with me. That would destroy the purpose and instincts that keep a LGD happy about doing their job. Take care. Enjoy those tomatoes.

I am so sorry about Shortstack dying!!! He was a favorite & you all will miss him!! You did all you could to help him!!

GRANDPA the way you were holding Short Stack is the way I always held my roosters they liked it a lot but Short Stack might of over done it last night with some of the lady birds in the Hen house SO AM PRAYING that this is the case for HIM

Sure hope Shortstack is going to be ok ... All the best.

Praying for ShortStack! You have such a tender heart grandpa!

You are doing everything you can. Your doing great work with all the animals. 💜🙏💜

Sorry to hear that Shortstack is not well. 😔 Praying that he will be ok. 🙏😢💔🕇

Love & Blessings to you and yours and extra prayer for short stack.

Oh I didn't know short stack was sick. I hope he gets better soon. I love watching you feed all the animals especially those 2 little piggies. They are so cute...I just can't get over it.Those animals live so happy. You are not just a farmer you are a loving kind person. You treat those animals so good. That's what makes watching you so nice. You work so hard. Thank you 🇺🇲🙋❤️🌷

Praying for Shortstack! Love you all!

Awe, good bye, Short Stack. 😥 Thank you for the up date. Not easy to lose a pet. Yes, he was a pet. They are all pets. 🙏🇨🇦👍❤🤗

Howdy grandpa, blessings!

Antibiotics never hurts in a case like this and often helps. Surely a vet would call you some in......good luck! We know how much you love your fine-feathered friends Grandpa!

First thing I thought of was a snake bite, Shortstack is the protector of the flock he may have been in battle with one during the night

Asking for prayers for my boyfriend he had open heart surgery about 2 weeks ago. He is not doing well but I know with prayers he can get thru this. Please pray for him. He us a good man with a heart of gold

I will be praying for Short Stack as well as you and Grandma. Those kune kunes are adorable. Love all the animals especially Smokey

Thanks Grandpa! Garden area looking good there. Sorry Shortstack is not feeling well. You and Grandma take care. 💕

I feel so sorry to know that Short Stack passed away .Grandpa , you did everything possible to help the ill bird and also protect the rest of the animals that Short Stack lived with until you had him put into isolation . I pray that the birds , Short Stack had contact with stay healthy . Take care Grandpa , the farmer with the big heart and humourous and musical talents ....we love the videos with your wonderful partner by your side, your super warm children and not to forget the entire lovely menagerie of animals...especially your two adorable Kunis Kunis . I die laughing when you massage their bellies and the do the Flop Over motion . It is hysterical !!!

Payers for Shortstack! I hope he feels better soon! You are so wonderful to the animals! Love ya'll and God Bless!

Hi Grandpa! I’m looking forward to following you around the farm. Your garden is coming on a treat. 😊 Poor Short Stack, I do hope he gets better. 💃🏽🕺the worm game and song has to stay! 💃🏽🕺 Thank you. love to Grandma 💐 God Bless. Until next time. Sending my love to you all. 👋😊

Praying for Short Stack to start feeling better soon. Grampa you take such wonderful care of your animals. I know if anything is wrong with him it is just nature. We so love you all. Take care.

Smokey says, “goats eat my food, I should be able to ear theirs”. 🤣😂🤪

Welcome to Howdy Grandpa and Grandma 👵 ❤ 💙 ♥

Sending prayers for shortstack you have done everything you can do for him grandpa love your videos live all the babies

So sorry to hear that Shortstack did not make it. I know you did everything you could for him. You must miss him so very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. You two are some of the neatest people on this earth, and we need to stick together. 😢♥️🙏🏼

Looks like magneto has two stalker hens,hahaha

Sending prayers for Shortstack. Peace out.

Sorry Shortstack isn't feeling well. The last time I saw chickens act like that it was one of two things, an injury [possibly got head butted by accident] or a snake bite protecting the other chickens. If Shortstack was bite by a black snake it can make him sick [although not poisonous it's the bacteria you have to watch out for] so you're doing all you can, hope he feels better soon.

Love the storage box Grandpa

So sorry about Shortstack. He will be missed. You did everything you could for him. 🥰

2 days ago 108 degrees in Boise Idaho

Grandpa, I really like your videos and I love how you talk to the animals. Also it’s nice to see you and Grandma sitting on your porch at the end of videos. 🙂❤️

The garden is looking great 👍

Prayers for ShortStack 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Grandpa you are the best taking care of all the animals❤️

Light and Love for you and Shortstack 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Grandpa, Shortstack seems to be favoring one foot, maybe check for bumblefoot and you can check his crop also, it can become impacted ( crop should be empty in the morning) Just do your best as always. God Bless.

Hope Short Stack is ok. Anyone who watches you videos knows what great care you give all your animals. Sometimes animals get sick, all you can do is your best and you are.

Bless your heart Grandpa. Prayers for Short Stack,you and Grandma. Always so heartbreaking when you see an animal hurting. You two have such soft hearts and go far and beyond to do everything possible to make things right again. Love you two. Rebekah.

Grandpa dancing makes me smile and the chickens like it too.

Welcome to Howdy, y'all & Grandpa & Grandma!!! Possibly Shortstack's tail feathers are injured, drooping a bit? 🙏🙏🙏 for Shortstack!

Hi Grandpa. The garden is looking awesome. I love those grape tomatoes too. They're like popcorn. Hope Short Stack gets better soon. You're so kind to call the animals. You can tell they adore you. Have a wonderful day.

God bless little Short Stack. Love you guys.

Some Roosters get worn out..especially this time of the year when it's prime breeding time..my roosters did that to..I was told to only have 5 hens to a rooster to stop this..but I don't think that works he still spun himself into a tizzy.. I also isolated my boy and give him goodies and hemp seeds in with his feed..within 2 days he was up and running around happy like always..I got my hemp seed off Ebay or Amazon..I can't remember which one..but it's the same stuff they feed to male canary's to get them to sing..Anyway I hope Shortstack gets to feeling better.

If you haven't talked to coghill farm, they had a rooster that was sick awhile back, they may be able to give you some pointers. Hope shortstack gets better soon.

ow do I know if my chickens have mites or lice? Image result for chicken mites vs lice Some of the common signs of any type of mite or lice infestation in a chicken are: dirty-looking vent feathers, decreased activity or listlessness, a pale comb, changes in appetite, a drop in egg production, weight loss, feather-pulling, bald spots, redness or scabs on the skin, dull, ragged-looking feathers, crawling

Awe, Shortstack! Get better buddy. 🙏

Oh! Ralph, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. He was a handsome fella. I know I would be crushed to lose one of mine. I wondered if he he might have a vent or constipation issue, when his little bit of white poo, didn't seem normal. My chickens actually get annoyed with me always checking their vents. But, as our animals sole caretakers, and the love we pour into them I think their little brains know our compassion and love in their own ways. Short Stack was a character. There are always local Backyard Chicken groups in FB, and so often people really need to re-home a good Rooster, so when your ready check them out. Right now, they way they are pinned up, you don't need to rush a rooster. I prayed for his healing or peaceful passing. Blessing to you all! ((HUGS))💔🙁

I sure hope that Shortstack is ok. I'll say a little prayer for him. Ralph I have to say you always go to the ends of the earth to make sure these babies are ok. Some people might say oh it's just a chicken but not you. He's a living, breathing being & you love him. Thank you for always going the distance.

We all love you and Grandma too! You bring joy and laughs.

Oh grandpa I'm so sorry....I know how much you love your babies.

Oh Grandpa I'm so sorry! I'm so heartbroken!!!! You did everything you could. I know he's in heaven running around bossing his new group of girls! May he rest in peace. 🙏😭

So glad your garden is thriving. I hope it's nothing serious with Short stack. Wether nice here too.

I wonder if Short Stack could have been bitten by something while protecting the hens?

Vitamins were suggested for Roosters who are spotted lying down, also to check strength of both legs (could be hurt)...We all love that little guy!

You might rotate sulfa or aramycin we did that for our birds at the shop. And our chickens and turkeys at the coop we set up when the kids where little for 4H

your garden looks awesome,I love your singing makes me smile keep on singing 😊 beautiful the way you talk to all the animals , your doing a wonderful job ❤

I said a prayer for Shortstack ... I hope he pulls through okay Ralph. 🐓 Nancy, 🇨🇦🇺🇲❤

Prayers for Short Stack

My rooster did that a couple of months ago I checked his poop shoot and he was clogged up . I went to dr him was going to clean it off I could not find him . He had gone under the coop and died . Hopefully yours will be fine soon.

So sorry for the loss of Short Stack....you gave him an amazing life

Oh man, hope ShortStack recovers🙏🏼❤️ You’ve done as much as you can Ralph. The garden is really doing well, cherry tomatoes are one of my favourites. Lola is looking really good, moving better as well😊 I hope you & Lea Ann have a great day. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

The chicken love the bugs and wormies! I am so sorry to hear that Shortstack passed away. Chad will be sad too. You did everything you could for SHORTSTACK! Love you and Grandma! God Bless you both!

I know you do your very best for all the animals.

I hope that Shortstack is okay. You are doing all you can for him. Grandpa you take such loving care of all the animals. The garden looks great. You will be having homemade zucchini bread soon. Bless you all and Shortstack. ❤

I'm coming to St. Louis on Friday. Wish I could get over your way, but probably not. I hope all is well with Shortstack. He's so handsome. Hi to Leeann. Bless you both.

Thank you for letting us know. Chucks go off so quickly with no apparent reason. He knew he was loved 🕊♥️

I’m so sorry for your loss of Shortstack. He was a beautiful boy.

Hi Grandpa and Grandma ❣️ we've been under heat advisories and a lot of cattle have been dying from the heat. Short Stack may have gotten over heated.

I saw a cage that you can hang a head of cabbage in with the chickens. I cannot afford to buy it but helps if the chickens have something to peck at it gives them something to do so they dont peck each other. I do not watch the channel I think it was Chickenlandia on you tube talking about chicken behavior. Just love watching you interact with all the animals.

You take such great care of your flock. God bless

Your home stead is one of the jest . I really like your channel!🥹❤️🥰

Nice garden. We had the first BLT last night. You are golden.

Hey there Granpa Ralph sure hope shortstack gets to feeling himself.. maybe talk to Jason at coghill they lost AC/DC A while back...

Need it y'all have a Blessed Day stay safe ,stay healthy,always make it fun Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩‍🌾🌵🦎💗

So sorry Shortstack passed on. You gave him and all your animals every bit of your love and attention.

Grandpa you can pick green beans anytime you want to pick them.I like my green beans before the bean inside get big. Some people Like a big bean in the green shell.I like more green and less bean. The Choice is yours if you like more green or a bigger bean

Prayers short stack recovers and doesn't get ill again. Gardens look wonderful, great job, Ralph. As always, totally enjoyed you and video.

I ABSOLUTELY love the relationship you have with All the animals!

Hope Shortstack is feeling better.❤️

You can put straw around your veggies in your garden. It deters most of the weeds. Also keeps moisture around your plants. Pick your tomatoes when they are ripe. Birds love ripe tomatoes. Just suggestions. ❤🍅

I love watching you Grandpa Adler. I love how you feed and talk to the animals. I watch you all the time. I don't comment, but I decided to now.

Try putting some flat tile-shaped concrete blocks down until you get the water dish for Olivia and Bella at the right height for them to drink. That should make it high enough to discourage them from climbing into their drinking water - especially if the dish is pulled up to the edge so there is no ledge for them to try to climb on. Sorry for the loss of Short Stack. He was a beautiful bird and had a good life with you - he was always treated well and even when he fell ill you did all you knew to do for him. We never know when there is a genetic issue that can take an animal early in their life and that may be what happened to him. He was happy almost to the very end thanks to your affection and care. You made the end as comfortable as possible for him. 💔 We all know you love your animals - and your animals love You! 💕 🐔 🐓 🐖 🐐 🐕

I'm so sorry to hear about shortstack passing. You went above and beyond. He was loved and he knew it.

Prayers for the whole “Adler” family. Short stack is hopefully going to get better.🙏🏻

I hope Shortstack does okay, you are doing the best you can for him, God bless you take care and stay safe

So sorry to hear about Shortstack . He took his time growing into a full blown roster but when he did he was a great looking one. I was looking forward to the day he would eat out of your hand. You are so good to all your farm animals, they are lucky to have you looking after them. Bless you Grandpa and Grandma Adler’s Farm. 🐓🐶🐐🐖

My sincerest condolences on the loss of Shortstack. He was a fine rooster and he will be missed.

Hope Shirt Stack recovers, you're taking great care! 🙏💕🙏

You do a great job with the animals so don't blame yourself, sometimes these things happen. You are a wonderful person. God Bless

So sorry for Shortstack's passing. Hugs !!

RIP Shortstack. You were a very good boy and so handsome. Rest easy little buddy.
