Bruce eating grain, tail feathers down...At the bottom of our driveway, across the road we have a lovely neighbour who adopted and Labrador about two weeks ago. Now this large chap is so cute. He is soooo friendly and loves children and other dogs. Needless to say he escaped a few times last week and ended up at my place. :)
Friday was one such time. Only thing was that he is so big and bouncy that he scared the chooks as well. So they scattered everywhere and our Rooster Bruce and a guinea fowl ended up in the backyard...
Yep you guessed it... our dogs happened to be out there too chewing on some bones when live meat walked in the yard... The guinea fowl got away. Nova though had Bruce pinned against the fence and was not letting go... I can't get over the amount of feathers that she got out of him in such a short period of time. Russell shooed the big visitor away and my neighbour did come for him straight away but by the time Russell got back to seeing if the chooks and dogs were all ok it was all a little too late... He ended up with two large gashes just near his tail. I put Dettol on it and hope it heals ok but now is just a waiting game.
The next day he was happy enough. Tail was down as the wound would be very sore for him. Not too sore to try and jump some hens though. hehe... Here is hoping all will be ok. :)
Cheers Damaris
