Definitely NOT a fight to the death. They may look pretty nasty, but all that blood is from biting and tearing at each other combs. They bleed a lot when nicked! No, if they had really been doing some serious damage, I'd have got out my net, caught one, then penned it up until I could give it away. As I hoped, once they finally settled their differences, I haven't seen them fuss any more. In fact, the Sicilian buttercup rooster now seems to have his own little harem of 5 of the younger hens, and the old boy looks after the rest. Oh dear no! Definitely NOT a fight to the death.

Those are some amazing rooster-fightin' shots. I can barely manage my ONE, I can't imagine having as many as you did! lol And I should really hold my tongue and not ask whether that last fight was truly a fight to the death, right? :-( oh. my. goodness.
