You are right that I have a lively imagination. I thought they sound more human than chickens when I read your post.I am extremely pleased to report he is very much improved compared to the way he was when I left for work this morning.
No. Cole is just trying to take the flock. That's normal cockerel behavior. He saw Fabio's weakness and took the opportunity to attack. It's as simple as that.
Anne walked out less than a minute after she went in there with him. There is no trio to take a picture of.
No. I am squirting the meds into his food so no one can be in there with him. But he seems to be perfectly fine. It's cold and the flock tends to hang out in the coop this time of the year and he seems very unstressed right now. They're right on the other side of a hardware cloth wall where he can see them.
You have a lively imagination. Anne is a complete bitch. Fabio has never bred her. She's never been fertile. I don't think he likes her much.
I am glad that Fabio is feeling better.
I love the story of rooster and hens. It was not long ago we had a rooster, he had his #1 girl and 1 girl he did not like, but she likes him and she is a bully. I have many chicken dramas and many are funny, they almost like the kind of drama that humans have.
