Pen fighting ruble. Thankfully I was outside. Stupid mole went through her pen and she dug right out and was teeing off with the black pullet next door. Too hot for this sh*t

Sometimes the hens need separated too.

Interesting observation at the end of this hot 98 F day. Bullstag in eclipse part of molt cycle where tail feathers are about out except for sicle feathers was acting all mousy when I walked in yard. He froze in a crouched position and would not move at all even as I approached his pen. After minute or so we walked away in slow motion even as I tossed in feed. He ignored it. Thinking something was wrong I released him were he walked real slowly towards a bullstag in neighboring pen. Then he came to life and tried to go up against other bird through the wire. His hackle feathers are short like a hen's. I moved in and he got into hotwire where he kept trying to setup for buckling. The fence was zapping the crap out of him yet he held his position until I got ready to grab him and moved a again. After dodging me and waiting a couple minutes he tried to fight again where I finely caught him. He is in excellent weight. I put him back in his pen and he still ignored it. I tossed in a grasshopper and he ignored it too. When I walked about 50 feet away he finely started to feed.

A few do this every year and they scare me into thinking something is wrong.

Big and juicy Differential Grasshopper. Like eating a mouse.

This how he froze.
