Both of us were 2 legged beasts. The rooster was not the one trapped in the hen house, I was, and my life at the time was shorter than his.

Kids I’m old now, but back when I was about 4 years old, an older sister (8 years older) took my (2 years younger) sister and I to visit new chicks born at our next door neighbors place. Somehow I got left behind and trapped in the hen house by the rooster. I remember him slowly pacing back back and forth at the door while making a dreadful noise as I stood paralyzed. Finally, he came at me, scratched my face and I ran out and back home. The next thing I remember is seeing my big brother using a shovel to remove its head.

It was not the rooster’s fault I had been left there. I felt relief when the rooster was dead. To this day I do NOT like roosters.

Yes you would still have anemia, dependent upon the rate of the bleed. The lost blood won’t be oxygenated and returned to the tissues, the pump (heart) will have to speed up to try to compensate, and other organs such as the kidneys, the brain, etc., will suffer temporary or perhaps permanent damage from a lack of sufficient blood supply.
