Blind roo! One eye only!

Hey guys and gals. Ok yesterday I went to feed my flock and darn! One of my jumbo roo got his eye torn out maybe by another inmate. And my question is will mating be a big problem for him??

I had a golden hen once whos eye I thought was gone. Looked like a swollen empty socket but when it healed the eye was actually still there. I never would have believed if I hadn't seen it. I hope this is the case with yours as well. Still, if it isn't, I wouldn't imagine that the loss of just one eye would slow him down much.

Yeah thats probably it because I didnt see his eyelid or anything just the buildup of scab. And no eye I really hope his eye is still there.

okay.... I will tell you this... I have a roo that has barely vision in one eye and none in the other.... i don't know if he will ever mate.... But i will tell you this..... he doesn't crow.... Great thought for town dwellers...If they could fertilize without the alarmclock bonus... wouldn't that be great!:??? I haven't ever seen him mount any hens.... I doubt he can, however... roos are spectacular looking.... they are just fun to look at.... even if they can't look back.
