Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: quarter full.
More crow-offs between Jack and Luke. The usual rule is that the dominant rooster starts, gets off a few good ones, then the contender has a go and after that they’re off: crow for crow. However, today Jack and I were under the pines at the back of the house, the Boys were nowhere to be seen, and then “Cocka...ooo...oo,” we heard. Obviously the Boys had slipped around to the front of the house and Luke felt safe to challenge Jack again since he was out of sight. Jack’s head came up with a start, “That cheeky young chick,” he says before pumping himself up for a good long reply. Yesterday’s crow-off was a doddle but Jack had to put a bit of effort in today.
