How sad.

@BY Bob , you wanna know what is really saddening. I was thumbing through my collection of DVD’s and found “Cry Macho”
I broke down in tears I really miss that rooster!

This is so awful. Those poor birds.

Have you considered telling the organizers ask the trouble this is causing you? Perhaps if they know the trouble this is causing you they might not do it again.

They more than likely will do it again but it's worth a try @RebeccaBoyd and try and find someone else who is upset by this animal cruelty. I wouldn't be able to hold my tongue if I had been there

Two days of rain here and I'm still not amused

Poor Xzit. I had to force her to go into the house to eat and drink. She’s not all here right now. Heat related I’m sure.

Well if she is broody she is likely in her broody mindset which will also make her seem dozy.

It great you bring her inside though, much better for her. And peace of mind for you

Well, lets add Squirrel, Blueberry and Holly to the list of floozies'. Bubba did his best, he just cannot handle 20 girls by himself and keep them in one spot. Oh Branch I miss you so, your help is now needed more then ever. As far as physical altercations go, to my knowledge and I spent a good part of the day outside none happened. The interloper did lure 3 of the girls down near the barn to him. I was outside dispensing sunflower seed treats and even I did not notice they were gone right away. I'm surrounded by the flock when Bubba growls next to me. I look in the direction he was staring and here comes Blueberry and Holly strolling back up the creek leading the interloper right along. Bubba calmly strutted to them, gave them a peck and sent them in my direction and half-heartedly charged him. He turned and ran and Bubba came back to me and the girls. A few minutes later same growl and same thing. This time it is Squirrel doing the walk of shame leading him. Once again Bubba went to her, pecked her hard on the back of the head and charged him. Again he turned and fled. I could not stay out all day, but when I came out to lock everyone up I see my opportunity to catch him. Bubba is on the roost with his laidies and low and behold here is the interloper right in the middle of the yard. This time wooing a very interested Judy and Dottie. I stayed back because the girls were making their way to the coop and he was following. So close, he came so close to going inside to roost with them. Instead after they went in he went on the hill and is sleeping in Momma Hens tree. Darn it, I see signs of a good boy here. Not for me, but, he has potential with a flock of his own. I can either take care of him tonight or wait another day and see if he will follow the girls into the coop where I can trap him. He seemed to learn his lesson about confronting Bubba so far. I swear if I can catch him I feel like taking him and dropping him off at the lady who run's the horse shows barn and turning him loose. Let him be her problem.

Sounds like he is used to a coop and flock situation. How cruel for these young roosters to be treated so cruelly - and the other Roo I imagine is dead; sounds like these Roos are not used to being on their own. Poor fellas, yes I would say he is just a youngster.

So mean and cruel. Sounds like this horse group needs a charter of care and humane treatment for the horses and other animals in their influence.

I think maybe Rebecca and then I included it again in the weekly synopsis. I thought it was a good one.
