I am referring to the ugliness that can come from a territory dispute...this time, it was two roosters. The rooster named Jet has grown a lot recently. He is starting to become huge. I found him standing over another rooster and both were covered in blood. The rooster fights aren't too common around here. There is plenty of space and the 'pecking order' is usually determined with no injury. Whenever there is a fight, there is usually enough noise for me to hear it and go break it up. On Saturday, I was not so lucky. I never knew they were fighting. When I found them, I thought one rooster was dead. I picked him up and he was limp...and blood poured out of his mouth. I ran cold water over his head and he was jolted back to life. Since then, he has been very slow in recovering. He is still in very bad condition. The good news is that the injuries are healing. He can open one eye a little bit. He can drink water...but, he can't eat yet...and best of all, he just crowed for the first time since the fight. That is always a good sign.
I wanted to get this blog back up to speed. There is a lot more stuff happening. Hopefully, we will be back to peace and happiness with the roosters and chickens...I hate it when they fight.
