My First Time Farm
Songster
I have a 7 month old Buff Orpington Rooster and he recently challenged my year old Barred Rock. Let's say he got the short end of the stick. Nobody was badly injured but Nugget did learn who was boss REAL quick. The next few hours I noticed he had some blood on his beak, at first I didn't really take much notice I just thought he may have landed a hit on my Barred Rock. Then the next day it was still there and it was weird because it was not dried yet so I became curious and wiped of the blood and saw that he had a cracked beak. I will be going away for the weekend and I am worried it might break off and he will bleed out. He truly is the character of the flock and I dont know what to do if he leaves me. These are pictures of 2 days after the brawl. He didn't seem to mind when I touched it but he takes food out of my hands much lighter then before.
