Day 67.

Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: half full.

Jack and Luke had a crow-off today. I thought Luke was taking a bit of a risk going for a crow-off while he’s still so young but he’s very bold.

A crow-off between roosters can be like two great titans clashing, but for Luke at this age it’s more of a rite of passage – a first taste of independence and the start of the long haul to the top of the pecking order. It would be easier if it was just Luke and Jack, but because there is also Matthew, Mark and John it’s going to be a long and often bloody battle. Anyway, that’s all in the future; Jack won this round, wings down of course!
