Strutting & Gobbling in January

[Water Rat]

These guys are ready to go….. too bad the ladies aren’t.  The neighborhood flock is over 20 with a few bearded hens. Hopefully no one is desperate enough to shoot them in May. I always see cars stopping in the street to watch them.

Got a flock near me doing the same thing.  The toms are definitely trying to impress each other.

From this morning.

I've got a flock down the road that are playing the same game.  Most of the displaying now is more to establish the pecking order.
