We had to put our crippled rooster down today. He was losing weight, developing sores on his legs from having to scoot around the coop, and the other roosters were attacking him because they're starting to 'mature'. Still, knowing all that, it was hard to do. Red was our sweetest chicken and he was incredibly smart. I like to imagine that if we'd been able to fix his leg he'd be perching and crowing like this guy, and I wish he'd been able to. RIP Red.
