On Guard

A fox has decimated my hens. In the free range flock I'm down to one hen and two roosters. This guy has claimed her as his own and won't let the other one anywhere near. He can't even come in the same cow yard as the two of them. There's signs of another stoush this morning by the look of his collar

Super capture! Great focus.

Oh, Margaret! I'm so sorry. Did something like this happen in the past that I'm remembering?

[Dorothy]

Your shot suggests that he is indeed taking recent events very seriously.

A fabulous shot of this beautiful rooster.

ugh. sorry to hear about the fox-rampage. I hate when they don't even eat them.

@janeandcharlie Yes he took some ducks before Christmas and my three hens around New Year - must have had babies to feed.

A great chook photo.
A fav.

I love images of chooks and roosters -the feathers their stance. Wonderful image with a story.
