[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5321638, member: 2805"] Mostly social dynamics... birds are moving around a lot a few weeks before season, pecking order is getting reset when new groups encounter one another, and toms are fighting which makes the hens go crazy as well. Later in the season, social structure has been better established, subordinate hens have acknowledged who's the boss, and hens become more solitary after breeding and completely solitary during incubation and the first month or so of rearing poults. Here's a good example of general hellraising. These 2 toms were fighting, and it upset the hens so much they joined it with fighting purrs and strutting as well as a sign of their general displeasure with the situation. [/QUOTE]
