Is anyone else seeing like a 60%+ pullet rate compared to stags?

Yep I definitely have more pullets this year.

I would have settled for 50/50 but it's more like 10/90 lol. And that's with every group, last year I had more stags than pullets on one group and almost 50/50 on another.

Haha I guess and thanks him an one of his sons look so so all are dropping feathers though just at different rates. Pretty sure havoc just posted his momma with chicks today. And my boys blue hen is his sister just to add.

Well I’ve never named my own chickens, but somehow I like to name other folks birds ... so you better name that one Harry or maybe Mr. Callahan... or maybe call him Dooyapunk

Speaking of Dirty Harry. He was back today.

I've named one bird here that's the black "peacemaker" but the wife named my white cock sidewinder and a few hens I don't keep up she can call them what she likes I'm the care giver an taker.

Oh and my boys chicken is "My Blue chicken" pretty simple an to the point.

Few weeks back I had 3 just chilling on the barn roof. Didn't offer to mess with birds but the birds sure didn't like them none.

They won’t mess with live birds anyway. There’s tons around here. Couple years ago I shot a doe and man I didn’t even have her field dressed completely and the turkey vultures were in the trees just waiting. It was also -5 degrees so they needed to eat.

They do work that's forsure, I've never thought of them as anything to worry much about they want the dead stuff.

They physically can’t eat live stuff anyway. The meat has gotta be decaying and softer.
Side note:
I don’t watch much tv at all but if I see one more “nature show” where they show a vulture flying and the sound effects of a red tail or other hawk I’m gonna lose it. So stupid.

Lol... yep that and whippoorwills tracks in the daytime....

Also I’m no longer allowed to point out that two scenes ago it was winter, and now the trees are green... apparently that “ruins it” for my wife... lol
