Yeah... like the title says. Our emergency backup rooster flew over the fence, out of the back pasture, to challenge Luna-tic. It lasted one second. Loonie is our recently acquired replacement dog, a Siberian Husky GSD mix who looked at the slaying as a fun diversion. Our Blue Andalusian/Jersey Black Giant main rooster heard the commotion and came over the fence spurs a-kickin' and lasted about two seconds.

This means BA/JBG's son, who hatched from our lone white leghorn, has been pardoned from attending FFC (future freezer camp) and ascended the throne.

Its not really a predator or pest problem but I wanted to share the loss of our excellent main rooster with folks who can understand.
 
Oh man, what a bummer. I'm sorry to hear that. :( Well, if nothing else, it serves as an example for people who desire a rooster to supposedly "protect their flock", that roosters can't actually do much against a determined dog.
Lunar Module wasn't even THAT determined; rooster #2 flew right at her and she seemed pretty shocked because the chickens stay as far from her as they can. She had that look on her face that I got when the Beni Hana guy hit me in the neck with a shrimp while I was talking to my wife- shocked, then "yippee!" She was ready when the Big Boy, rooster #1, came for her.
