[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5631712, member: 7419"] While others got a kick out of the comment, I can see the infertile thought being a valid question, if you have seen him with the exact same hens all season, and they aren't bred. OF COURSE... that's the issue, it's hard to tell if those are the exact same hens or if they have been bred. If they have only been there a couple of days, they may have just moved to "safer pastures" or so they think. Also, it is possible he bred them (assuming they have been together all season), and they laid, but something destroyed the nest so they may be starting over. I saw one that I have seen strutting with 4 hens off an on all season, strutting with 4 hens yesterday in the exact same place. I see them almost every day. Either they have nests (no way for me to know) and he is just doing what male birds do in the spring, or they got their nests busted up and he is going to get a second round of breeding. In mid TN the birds start strutting in Mid March (sometimes earlier) and I see them strutting with hens into June. [/QUOTE]
