Pretty interesting show last evening. A single rooster pheasant was strutting and calling in the alfalfa about 100 yards from the porch window. In a short time a hen walked out of the weeds on the edge. Of course the rooster went right to work, chasing her down and getting serious. The commotion was just too much for the other girls in the area, and within a matter of minutes he was surrounded by no less than 6 more hens, waiting for their opportunity. He was still courting them when the last light faded.I wonder if I will find him lying there today? And to think, those girls usually have about 12 -14 eggs, so he has to repeat this for a couple of weeks. Tough job huh?

Mating update: A rival has appeared. Number 2 rooster came on the scene this evening. No breeding was done, just a lot of fighting. Wildlife info concurs that if you have too high rooster to hen ratio that the roosters spend all their time fighting instead of f**king! Looks like time to get the .22WMR out of the sock.Or the big white English setter and my little Browning .20ga O/U.

I know my Farmall 340 is lonely, I should think about looking for a mate...for my tractor and for me too.

Reminds me of a story about President Hoover and his wife touring a farm.

Mrs. Hoover was with a group a little ahead of the President. When they stopped at the chicken house, she noticed that there were many more hens than roosters; the guide told her that the rooster would typically mate about 12 times a day. She told the guide to point that fact out to her husband.

So when the President arrived the guide dutifully told him that what she had said. Hoover asked if that was 12 times with one hen. "No," the guide responded, "that's with 12 different hens."

"Tell that to my wife" said the President.

Gordo: Are you really concerned about the rooster, or are you just wondering how you could become this popular with the ladies.

I heard that male lions can mate up to 50 times a day.

I'm just sayin'
