" For my yoke is easy and my burden is light "
I was going through old photos today and noticed something odd about my rooster brownie which him and his brother fought an owl an lived with minor scratches
The fight happens at night in the pitch dark and there sister was killed during the battle so I know he was disturbed and they were not able to see what they were fighting due to not being able to see at night
They both jumped fences to get to her
So for the next few months brownie would hang by himself and run from things in the yard like shadows it was alarming
He stopped crowing and lost his confidence
Stopped mounting hens too
Took the bottom of entire flocks pecking order goes in coop last and runs from everyone but is happy and getting better I thought
Boy do I miss him dancing and showing off and crowing with his bros
I came across this some old photos and want to get him back in his realm and believe it can happen
He’s not changing sex and I’m not open to discussion on that because I have seen that before but this is a case of him wanting to avoid problems and no confidence
My question is where do I start
He’s 1.5 years old and his appearance has completely changed
He’s going through a hard molt along with his bros
I’m thinking someone might know something about rehabilitating him or where I can start please
First 3 photos were from this summer and the last 1 was from today
He has Wyandotte in him so his color is changing
My other concern is health
He seems healthy but I’ve got no experience with this situation yet thanks in advance
