Add Ons

We found an add on Kijiji this morning; 2 year old hens and a rooster, free to a good home.  We picked them up at 6pm.  They couldn't find the other hen, they think she got eaten.  The rooster was HUGE.  The other hen we named Ugly Betty.  The owners said she was molting, but hens generally do that as the days get shorter in the fall.  We got them home, and as expected, the new Rooster and Captain Cluck went head to head.  But, out of nowhere, one of our hens came to his defense.  Both roosters ended up with some cuts and bruises, but it seemed to be settled.  Then as they all came in to roost for the night, new rooster went after our hens.  Now we know why Ugly Betty is pecked.  The rooster is a bully!!  We kicked him out for the night!  It seems mean, but I can't have him going after the hens, and poor Ugly Betty needs to heal.
