Went out to my pen this morning and found one of my poor black australorp hens hiding in a dark corner. I instantly knew something was wrong with her, so I went over to check on her. She was bleeding profusely, was missing feathers on her head, and she only had one eye.
I was devastated. I looked around and saw blood on the old english rooster and I froze in anger
I have decided that I am getting rid of my old english rooster and hen. When my neighbor had to move and asked me if I would take care of them, I said yes out of kindness, but the hen and rooster have already killed two of my other birds. I have always raised calm, loving silkies and can't stand these evil, mean-spirited birds. (Have never kept my silkies with the Old English or near them, in case any of you thought that, only large, birds) Only out of kindness and understanding am I letting these two live instead of killing them and eating them. I am putting an add in The Swapper(a local periodical) to see if anyone wants these two birds
I will tell potential buyers of their murderous past and if no-one buys them in a few weeks, they shall reside in my stomach.
Just breaks my heart thinking about my poor hen....She never did anything wrong
