Thanks for the "tease" in the hot summer. Have you seen any of the Tom's actually breed still? With that much activity, there has to be some poults around.

July 25th in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. 7 hens were pecking around in the yard when 4 gobblers came in and started putting on a show for the ladies. The ladies weren't interested, but the guys gave it a try anyway.
