I TELL YOU! WAY TO TURN A GOOD DAY BAD! I had found this morning instead of our planned 3 hour delay for school today we ended up not having any school. So, my mom told me we could go down to our breeders and bring him all our extra roos, which I had planned on also taking eggy our silkie to him as well.....he was beating up marshie all too much. so the other day I decided to take eggy to my breeder who was not open sunday, so I planned on taking him today. what made me decide to get rid of him was the fact that he was over mating his girl and was pulling feathers out way too much. eggy tried mating with marshe and she was trying to get away, so Cadbury came after eggy to get him off of her, protecting his girls from eggy's dumb brains. so when we went down to the coop we drove up to it and my mom had said for me to stay in the car so I didn't get my shoes all dirty and I could tell her which roos I would take. that's when she had noticed Cadbury. when I saw him I was thinking, wow he sure was rolling in the mud! then I realized he had blood caked all over his hackles! the back of his comb was chopped off by who knows what.....but I knew it was eggy. I stormed over to eggy and grabbed him by the tail with so much force I just walked to the box and threw him in. I screamed I hate eggy.....I wasn't trying to be mean to him, its just Cadbury is my pride and joy and he had hurt him! I just broke down after that and couldn't see my baby in the state he was in....of course the blood made everything look worse that it actually is...I think. then my mom told me to just keep one of the 5 roos from my new years hatch, which I was sole fully keeping 2 and temporarily keeping one to sell to another local BYCer here. well, she just shoved all the other roos into the box except for my two I wanted, leven and milkshake. then all she said was I told you so.....uh, sorry but you told me what? nothing. I had told her I needed to get rid of my roos...she never told me.... LOL anyways, I was ticked at eggy. wouldn't even look at him. im just mad that Cadbury can now not be entered into our state fair. ANGRY you have no idea. I am still crying as im typing this because I couldn't stand to loom at him In such a state. im sorry. sorry the gross pictures, but it was what I had seen.....im so upset! looked back in the coop after I got back from my breeders and it looks like a murder scene with blood speckled on the feeder, shavings, doorway, and nest boxes.
I've got 5 Roos. One I keep with the BTail girls. All the other boys hate him. When I turn him and the girls out for some sunshine and exercise, he get his full of it because all the boys want a piece of his hide. When they fight, a cock will grab the other's large comb, and whoops him good, trying to spur him in the side of the head to kill him. In the process, the comb can break off. I don't let the lil guy out with those roughens anymore, even though he'll give'em a good fight.
