Fox and a stupid rooster

[sewchick]

Last night the stupid rooster would not go in the coop. Not sure why. It was after dark. The girls were all in. A couple of hours later I hear the screech. It was the stupid rooster. The noise was awful. I screamed out the window and all got quiet. Thinking the rooster was lunch for some lucky fox I went off to bed. 8am I hear cock a doodle doo to you. My stupid roo is alive. I let the dog out the front door and what a mess of feathers. Dh and I picked them up. They were scattered everywhere. I had thoughts of a bloody mess and I would have to cull him. To my amazement the fox only got his tail feathers. Almost all of them. It filled a gallon ice cream jug. The roo is fine. Maybe next week he will be my supper if he doesn't smarten up.

Oh I disagree! I think he knew there was a predator and stayed outside to fight it. Who knows? It might have discouraged the fox. I think it sounds like he is a really good roo that is determined to protect his girls.

I think he knew something was out there and he wanted to protect his girls...even if it meant losing his own life which is what almost happen...Why do you want to eat him??Is he a problem roo??
