I know this sounds unbelievable but its true my boyfriend just called and said my spangled hatch hen killed his frost Grey stag literally she broke his neck ... Because the stag pecked one of her doodles I guess her mother instincts kicked in

How old was the stag?

Looks like wound from fighting through pen. Typically both feet would be affected as well as head. Should not stop walking. It is possible he got hung by foot on something and broke foot?

He has scorpions in his yard, that coupled with the odd location and single hole suggest a sting. Not to mention the lack of mobility and the swelling.

these birds are hard wired to kill what ever threatens them. A good strong very game hen can kill a stag up to about 7mo of age. after that if that were to happen the bird was too weak to have been carrying brood genes so you didn't loose.

How old was the stag?

little over a year

 

[JShubin]

Almost 2 years old

2 years old is a cock... he should NOT have died from a hen kick... did anyone see it or just assumed? He may have been sick, the neck goes limp if rigor mortis hasnt set in.

If he did die from a hen kick, then she did you a favor.

I guess it was a lucky shot, sounds like he wasnt expecting it. Too bad for the rooster.

I had a brooding hen attack and break a chicks leg this morning.. I caught her before she killed it. I bandaged the chicks leg with some medical tape and a simple splint.
