We got poults around here old enough to buy a pack of cigarettes, and you are running over eggs. Yep - south AL and north AL are exactly the same…..

And still have gobblers strutting with hens.
Gobblers strut with hens year round
And I’d bet for different reason in the fall
Watched one strutt on a youth deer hunt with a good friends son. We were hunting wma my friend was the biologist on some 20 years ago. More of dominance deal, pecking order.
Another friend posted this on FB today
This gobbler was strutting band breeding these hens. Once again a totally different reason
Were these Jennie’s or hens that lost nest? I’m betting most lost nest but then again they didn’t present an ID
They’ve been hanging around his house once March. Totally wild birds, not hunted but wild.
