So, I have been really sick since Friday night and only have my oldest daughter
at home to help me unti my wife and other 2 kids return home.
I did not sleep much last night so was later than usual going out to help
daughter feed up and gather eggs today.
I have 5 different chicken coops,one of which contains my bantys. While I was
tending to one pen DD was tending to the bantys and called out to me wanting
to know if I had gotten rid of 1 of the roos. We have a black cochin and a
lavender colored cochin in that pen and the black was not out in the run.
Thinking someone for some unknown reason may have stolen him
I started to the coop and here was a full size rooster walking around the pen area.
Evidently someone decided to dump him on me as we live over 1/4 of a mile from the highway
and the nearest neighbor with chickens lives about 1 mile away. I looked into the
coop and my balck cochin had been whipped up pretty bad through the fence. Both of
my roos were scarred but the black was pretty bad.
Needless to say I was irate about it and had DD go get a gun and I dispatched it right then.
Don't know when last night or early Sunday morning he was put out. (The neighbor had no
rooster that looked like the dumped rooster)
Rooster had scaly legs,mites, was missing lots of feathers and just in general did not look good.
We have had numerous pregnant dogs and cats dumped out here but never
a rooster.(Heck I have been giving roosters away so why would I want someone
to donate me one like that?)
Now having to doctor both of my cochin roosters but havin doubts about the black one making it.
