A Tale of Three Roosters

Yes there are three. Rooster Prime is Nacho Grande aka Red aka King Henry VIII. His son is Onesie who just had his first birthday on May 12. Then there is CoCo's consort, Nut, who is a Silkie. Now before you ask...yes that's a couple more than needed.
So the boys have been getting along...mostly. There was a good bit of chasing but that was about it. That changed yesterday.
I let the flock out yesterday morning and Nacho didn't seem himself...now considering his age I thought might be on his last legs. Well, Onesie saw his chance to overthrow his father. They had words.
Onesie is now in segregation with a bloody wound to his head/comb. Nacho staggers like a young fella on George Street.  Nut was also put into lockdown today as he went after Nacho. So. Now I wait.  The big guy might not survive but he doesn't seem to be in distress so I'll see what happens. Might just have a concussion.  Keep your claws crossed.
