1 happy rooster coming up

were leaving this afternoon to our “Duck INN’ to help relieve this roosters voice from calling all the time, hes down to just squacking now- when we arive he will find there will be some girls strutting there stuff tonight along with a few compedators- going with the 1-6 ratio were getting 2 boys and 18 girls- thats not many but it is to us, got to start somewhere; we dont hunt them but hopefully there will be some to hunt for someone else next year

were excieted

there from Princton and ready to release

Goodness and Gee Wizz??
we created a group of lonely roosters with the presents of the ladys arrival- for 2 weeks after they all had sore voices from calling but there all pretty darn quiet now– Im not sure how long it takes to start a family with them but there sure hiding now- we get a chance to see them now and then but there are less hens showing up at the feeding sites and only 1 rooster? puzzles me ?

This sounds like a fun project, let us know how things progress.

the last couple days only 1 rooster is coming to the feed – he must have gotten married because he has only 1 lady he had been bringing for lunch each day, im guessing shes on the nest now and im thinking it takes 2 weeks to hatch so he arrives between 7-7;30 eah morning for 1/2 hour leaves for the tall grass along the ditch and returns at 7-7;30 in the evening flopping his wings but never calling, we havent seen any of the rest of them for awhile but there nearby at other feeding sites we cant see– Humm- im trying to think of a name for the rooster that got married , ” Hen Pecked” “Mr Lonely”, “Nuts”

Saturday morning we were having coffee while the wind whipped up to 30mph- a lonely Turkey came running accross the yard,; (we have seen as many as 9 of them in the woods earlier) we have heard turkeys get mixed up when theres a lot of wind and the tale holds true, he had no idea where hes was heading–he was lost.

Monday- a pair of Sandhill Cranes came up to near the cabin, they usually dont get that close;; good grief another married guy and I have to think of another name for him as I snapped another one open standing in the garage listening to he call to her (only 2 ft away) kind of got to me so I tried to imatate his call “and it was bad” but each time I did he would jump up and dow, flop his wings and call back- I thought it was amusing as he jumped 2 ft in the air each time I called –I told Judy about it and she said “maybe hes looking for another mate” So I quit calling – ISH, EEK

I thought pen raised Pheasants don’t stand much of a chance in the wild……..Something about not knowing where to look for food ??? And the presence of Preditors…….
