We took our cockerel to our local farm today, loaded our car up with food pellets, straw and other bits and 5 minutes alter as my hubby went to say goodbye to him he noticed that Daisy was bleeding heavily.
They had only put him in a coop with 2 hens and they had attacked him. We asked them to remove him and promptly brought him back home with us. He has had the wound treated and we are keping an eye on him to make usre he is okay. It looks like they attacked his comb. Poor thing now looks very sorry for himself.
It is annoying though as i had just found some gorgeous hens i was going to get to add to Holly & Ivy.
We have put 5 eggs in the incubator this afternoon and now we wait 6-7 days to candle them to see if they are fertile.
