So, I’m new. I apologize if this is unnecessary or in the wrong spot! I have 5 Roos. Bawk Bawk is my big Australorp and he is the oldest and Alpha, while frostbite during this NNY winter hit my boys hard and I went into the coop to find Bawk Bawk covered in blood and comb tore up! So I’ve removed him and am treating his injuries(I don’t know how long it’ll take. I was able to keep a hen with him and she hasn’t harmed him thankfully) but my issue is … Can Bawk Bawk go home one day? Or will he be ostracized? He was king of the coop and 3 of the other Roos: No Butt, Big Guy and That Guy are his sons. While Speckles is form an outside batch. They’re all younger(speckles an Amaraucana. Is the youngest. No butt and Big Guy are Australorps like Bawk Bawk. That guy is half amar/austra. I just am so heartbroken at the thought of Bawk Bawk losing his title and being an outcast? Any experience with this type of situation? He is such an awesome rooster and kept everyone in line and cared for his hens so well!! I am not sure who is new alpha but I think it might be No Butt(a rumpless rooster lol) …should I even attempt to add Bawk Bawk back? Or would it just be messy?
Ps. The pictures are the boys all happy in better days and weather.
