NIGEL:
We arrived home to quickly feed the chooks, collect the eggs & then go walking.
As I was throwing out some scratch for the hens I noticed a peculiar chook in with Buster & 46.
Then I realized it was 2-Spot with blood all over him! He was very stressed & obviously lost his battle with Buster. Buster's comb was also bloodied, but nothing like 2-Spot's!!!
I was able to get him out & he immediately went to get a drink. He had blood on his legs & all over his neck & back which made him look brown? We still cannot work out how he entered the rooster's run except for flying in?? Very strange. I spray neosporin on each of their crowns for a few nights to prevent infection. They both seem okay now, but it wasn't something I want to see again! You can see the blood on the coop door from one of the roosters!
