    Did i catch the killer?

    I did not notice anything on him and the hen was perty old, she was going on 7 years. Also these cats are wild. Never had human owners. I live in rural west texas so they survive catching other animals. This is the first ive lost one to a cat though, if it was him.

    HELP!!!! Injured rooster!

    Nice, yea getting injured from fighting with each other is as natural as it gets. Keep in mind sometimes it can just be a little blood and sometimes it can be severe blood and swollen eyes and faces (incase it happens again). Either way couple days rest and it will be fine. But i doubt it will...

    Maybe he got into it with another rooster, sometimes hens can put up a fight too. If its just his comb thats bleeding he will be fine with no need to do anything.
