Flypen your yard and stags look amazing. Love seeing free ranging youngsters, so shiny and healthy.

Thank you JShubin, I definitely got some awesome broodfowl to pick from this year. All the Greys with red shoulders are crosses that will be shipped to a new home for showing. I had a guy pick up 8 last weekend but not broodfowl.

What is it about molting that makes the birds so flighty? Do they know they are more vulnerable to predators? I don't even like to touch the birds during molt as it really seems to be stressful.

I think it is a mechanism to protect incoming feathers that are delicate. They can be more testy and peckish too.

I moved a couple cocks in with pullets to create some very late broods. The cocks entering heavy molt are much slower to court hens.

Just ask yourself how you would feel if you started losing all your hair once a year.

Attempt to avoid rainfall?

I have been watching some homesteading videos on Youtube... rainwater collecting and such in Arizona
