Henry, one of our two roosters, is gone. He had been growing meaner every day, to the point where it took at least two people to gather the eggs. One to hold Henry off with a stick, and one to get the eggs from the nest.
He was brutal to Exotic, the other rooster as well.
That all ended tonight, though. Evil Henry attacked Mr. C and pecked a deep gash in his leg. Thank the Lord, it wasn't his face!
Just a few minutes later, Henry crowed his last cockadoodledo & received a bullet in the neck. It was a gruesome scene as it took the hens about 1/2 second to realize what had happened & they rushed the scene and began (this is so gross!) eating their fallen leader. Gross!
Mr. C got cleaned up & is now convalescing on the couch, watching Star Wars (which is a big treat around here!). His leg should be good as new in a few days.
Exotic is now the new Rooster King. (Hopefully he will have learned something from Henry's fall. We'll see.)
