Pirate rooster

Well it appears some time between this morning and now Old Boy lost his right eye. I noticed it was puffy so I came back to the house to get someone other than me to investigate. We held him down and got a something to flush it out if something was stuck in it, but afterlooking we couldn't see an eye in there. Poor guy, and it wasn't even Young Boy as he's penned up with Tommy and has been since Saturday.
I'm not sure what happened, I'm at a loss. I wonder if I should get him a patch?
When it rains it pours around here. I'm not sure how this is going to go for him or if we'll be saying good bye to him soon.

UPDATE: We've booked Old Boy into the vet's tomorrow at 9am. Hopefully they'll be able to shed some light on this situation. I'm not sure how he's going to go on the car ride, I'll be sure to take the camera.

Why is this making me laugh? I think it's because I'm still working past midnight. It's very sad and I hope he'll be ok and not start running into trees or anything. Or that it won't interfere with his naps. I mean that seriously. But then I want to say "Arrrrghhhh".

Poor Old Boy, although I bet he's got quite a swagger! I hope he's ok, i'll ring you later. Condolences about Beaker also, he was a great duck. Poor boy, but at least his with the baby girls and bossing Mandy around again.
