The words of many BYC member gave me courage to do what had to be done.
“Solve for peace within the flock”.
Spatch- my 3.5 yr old Bielefelder was fight and chasing Moon-my 1 yr old Blue Copper Marans. One day last week both were bloody, and Spatch was chased off into the woods. He spurred me twice pretty bad, and countless times threatened to do so for a month. His hens saw him get the snot beat out of him and left him for Moon, who took up Spatches roost space. I had to put Spatch down—It was hard-HARD!! But I did it lest he be fatally wounded and suffer. I put him under my fav white pine in the corner of my land (Isengard), all the while thinking over and over, solve for peace solve for peace.
RIP my sweet Spatch. You were a very good boy!!
