Well the other day I went to check on the chickens and get eggs and I saw something that scared me!!!! I walked in and saw my rooster Harold, the "big dawg" in the coop, halfway sticking out from under the nest box.
I just knew he was dead. I called him: Nothing. I knocked on the nest box: Nothing. So I pulled him out and his head was all tore up!!! I didn't know what had gotten a hold of him!!! Then, when I sat him down to see if he would/ stand up, the other rooster, a black sex link, jumped off the roost and jumped on Harold and so did some hens!!!! All I can figure is that the other rooster finally kicked Harold off his throne!!! So now Harold is a yard rooster!!!! He is doing fine now and seems happy to just patrol the yard.
