I know you are right though I don't like the craigslist option unless necessary because I just don't know if he will be handled compassionately at the end. we can't butcher him....no skills, desire, or stomach for it.
It's hard because bfore last week he seemed like a good hen and all was well in the flock of 4. it happened so fast that she became he and the whole thing broke down. I think we harbor bad feelings toward the other 2 because they are part of the "pack" that hurt Lorna. But as you say, they are primitive in their way and only doing what nature has programmed them todo. it is just raw right now. I contacted the BYc person who gave them to us to keep her in the loop but I guess we will catch our breath before we have anyone killed/eaten.
thanks. ugh.
