[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5879781, member: 2805"] You described this effect perfectly! Other things to consider. A tom that is injured or ill will also often become subdominant due to testosterone suppression and become a non breeder. The first bird I roosted day before season opened here in MS I believe that is exactly what is going on. He just isn't breeding due to low testosterone levels, probably due to an injury or illness, more likely than losing a battle with another tom. He follows a hen around for a safety in numbers thing, but head stays pale and dusky. I actually passed him up weeks ago, as I strongly suspect once he heals from his injury and is feeling better, he will play the game. He finally gobbled once on the roost last week, so he's starting to feel better. [/QUOTE]
