Rooster beat up by his sons?

[ChickenChaser9]

My husband made the tie cord so we could take a picture because the young roosters are jumpy and freak out easily. We didn't buy the new ones, and Bruce was a rescue so there wasn't a supplier. We also had no intention of keeping the new roosters, we only wanted Bruce. And I wasn't trying to say the rain made them fight, I made the mistake of letting them roam freely after I cleaned out there yards, not realizing they'd fight.

Sorry to hear about Bruce. Game breeds like yours are well known for their fightyness. Education is the best cure for avoiding this tragic circumstance in the future. Best Wishes.

You don't just learn how to make a tie cord for a rooster out of nowhere. It's done to prevent them from coming into contact with each other. Vet didn't ask about a beat up dubbed bird? Hmm

We have two coops, and we had all the younger chickens in one and our original ones in another. I don't normally mix them because the hens are mean to the younger chickens. I hadn't noticed any aggression between the roosters before and we had a lot of rain and their yards were flooded so I let them out so I could move the water out and then of course they didn't want to go back in. I figured I'd just wait until they put themselves to bed. I'm kicking myself now for not relizing they are old enough to start fighting for dominance. And my husband is normally the one to handle the coop chores but he's out of town for a few more days. We were also in the process of finding the new roosters new homes. We don't breed we only did one hatch for more hens. Also, we recused Bruce(father)

since your husband does the coop and the cords seems like one of y'all knew what y'all had

Could you show a picture of the coops? If you have several birds divided into two groups, then you may have a space issue as well.

What do you mean by breeding group? We got him from the pound.

My husbands grandparents both have ranches and he grew up around chickens. And the tie cord is pretty simple, you don't have to be a genius to tie a slip not. And no the vet didn't ask if I had fought my bird. Before anyone else tries to make anymore innuendos we DO NOT fight our birds! We only have chickens for eggs and because like them. We treat them like pets, not livestock.
