Old Boy vs.Young Boy

I got home from town today and I saw my neighbour carrying Old Boy, so I went over and Old Boy was covered in blood and looking a little stunned. Him and Young Boy got into a fight and it seems that youth has prevailed and Young Boy had Old Boy penned down and was pecking him. The neighbour separated them and brought Old Boy up to me. There isn't a scratch on Young Boy.
I couldn't get a very good photo but as you can see, he was bloody. I'm in a little bit of a predicament now. Do we stew Young Boy and keep Old Boy, who no longer has an appetite for the ladies? Everyone bar Young Boy is penned up at the moment and it will stay like that for a week or so. I went over to check on Old Boy earlier and there was Young Boy on the other side of the fence taunting him. Then I saw Speedy over with Young Boy. I asked her what she was doing with this killer, she knew I wasn't impressed as she ran off. Poor Old Boy, just when he was looking so good. Its none stop here.
I woke up early this morning and went in search of the Goat but it had left Hydrorancho. I was so pleased it didn't go into the patch as I didn't think my duck-proof fence would hold up against a goat.
