Farmer is probably feeling pretty sad about it too. My dad kept hens and a couple roosters when we were little but they were plenty mean! I remember a huge Rhode Island Red who would charge us....eeek! At least there are good memories of R.Crowe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-1194640209692963612008-06-27T14:50:00.000-04:002008-06-27T14:50:00.000-04:00Russell Crowe was certainly a handsome rooster. A...Russell Crowe was certainly a handsome rooster. And I've seen a few birds in my time. I've got a cat named after Russell Crowe (the actor); his name is Bear Crowe. Bear Crowe will be five in September. He's very handsome, too, and quite a character, and rules the house like it's his very own. He was found in a trash can when he was two weeks old, brought to my vet's and I adopted him when he was only 5 weeks old. He was so wild when I brought him home, I set him down on the floor and he went straight for my face! But that was the "Bear" in him. The "Crowe" in him is the very loving part, the kisses and cuddling.<BR/><BR/>So I know what it means to become attached to a "Crowe," to lose your heart to one. Or two, including the actor.yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589071128187861996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-28022314381694510752008-06-27T14:29:00.000-04:002008-06-27T14:29:00.000-04:00Oh, how sad.

Between the black lamb disappearing, the ill-timed rains, the kittens leaving for new homes, and now the web's favorite rooster leaving the scene, it has been quite a month.

In addition to all of those wonderful things you listed about his life, he also had women from all over coming up with names for him, reaching out across this world wide web-to "talk" about him.
