Unfortunately a penned crossbred cockerel has managed to damage the wattle of a free-ranging young cockerel and one of them is now missing. Is it likely to grow back in a young bird?
 
Presumably they have been fighting through the wire Chickenfan? No, I doubt it will grow back completely but would expect to see some partial regrowth. To what extent I don't know.
 
Thanks Chris. Yes, they were fighting through the wire, both now penned. Adult cockerels being fattened sadly for someone's dinner.
