I have a Facebook page this link did not work

didn't work for me either, it took me to my notifications,

if the op doesn't know what breed the bird is, how would anybody else?

I think maybe it might be a Hatch!!!

edit to say, you can tell what breed they are when candling,

It's been in the upper 90*s-100s here, I went in the backyard to feed yesterday & found my 2 year old stag breathing heavily then saw my 1 old stag, that stays with his girls in the front yard, beat to crap but standing. I put him in a pen but when I went out to shut coops that night he was dead. The older stag was up on the roost in his coop, seemed alright, but when I came out the next morning to let everyone out he was dead too :hit The young one is the grey with his sisters when he was a youngster, the other picture is the older one who had already killed 2 others that came around. The younger one had been staying with his girls in the front yard & not even thinking about comng in the back, o well

Such losses that occur even after fighting stops can often be attributed to heat. Next time something like that happens, make every effort to cool combatants down. Also most damage I see, when not in some way heeled, involves contusions / bruising. The natural spurs do some limited penetrating but are mostly scratching tools where they are designed to ding up your foes looks.

I will grab such birds and put them in a cool dark place such as a cellar and even apply additional air flow using a fan. Make sure ample water present. Watch heads for swelling that can obstruct vision. When birds get really hot the cessation of conflict is from technical knockouts from hyperthermia / heatstroke which can also lead to brain damage.



Important terms to clarify communications,
2 year old stag = cock
1 year old stag = bullstag
