Well, needless to say we had a sad day yesterday....my dog (whom is no longer my dog) chased, cought, and killed one of my prize roosters, a valuable hen, and injured my other show rooster. The neighbors dog was in on it as well...I didn't even realize anything was happening until I heard a thud and saw a bird freaking out right outside my window. At first, I thought it was just some wild birds fighting then I see a pile of feathers and my dog running back to the coop. When I finally got her away from the rooster, his tail feathers were practically gone and he was making an awful wheazing noise. He's fine now, but I was so caught up in trying to calm him down that I didn't even think to count the rest of the chickens...and much to my dissappointment, we found the remains of the hen and the whole rooster right in the neighbors front yard. I really hate to get rid of my dog but I know that she will always be after them now she thinks she can. SOOOOOO, we are now IN THE MARKET for another mille fleur belgian d'uccle bantam rooster (preferably 4 months or older) because my d'uccle hens are taking it very hard- they were a little pack of best friends. We would also like to replace the hen with a few more (any breed is ok). If you all know of anybody that is selling d'uccle roos PLEASE let me know-we are located in southern KY and are willing to pick him/them up from up to 40 mi away. THANKS!!
