[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4605711, member: 2805"] That's MUCH higher that I would have expected. It's normal due to differing personalities for some birds to get spooked early in season and not initiate a nest, but I would never think it would be to that extent. That being said, most hunters/ biologists simply do not understand just how individual each bird is. For example, of my 3 hens, one initiated laying around April 7th, another started April 18th, and the third started laying 3 days ago. All 3 birds are clutchmates, and housed identically, yet nest initiation differs by 3 weeks. To top it off, one of the birds has not yet allowed the gobbler to breed her despite being housed with him- all her eggs are still infertile. [/QUOTE]
