While we're discussing pen-reared vs. wild, hen vs. rooster, whether to shoot or not, we mustn't forget that some folks claim some hens cackle.A cackle would have been the telltale sign to shoot.
And while we’re on this. I always notice that hens poop when flushing but haven’t noticed it happen with roosters. Can’t figure out if they don’t or I just don’t notice since I’m preparing to shoot them instead of watching them fly away like a hen.While we're discussing pen-reared vs. wild, hen vs. rooster, whether to shoot or not, we mustn't forget that some folks claim some hens cackle.
This is patently false. They may make wing noise & maybe even some other little weird sounds....but never a cackle. Shoot the ones that do.
I am curious as well. I cant SEE anything that says its a male. What am I missing? Spurs? 4th toe?Very unique for sure, was/is it a rooster? Hard to see any spurs, but it kind of has tailfeathers. A cackle would have been the telltale sign to shoot.
Look at the red tint, especially around the eyes. I think that says male a lot more than it says female. I also think a few tail feathers got ripped out during the retrieve. But, wild, mutated, released, who knows.I am curious as well. I cant SEE anything that says its a male. What am I missing?
My opinion, since they are a genetic variance/mutation, hen or rooster, get rid of em so they aren't in the gene pool.I am curious as well. I cant SEE anything that says its a male. What am I missing? Spurs? 4th toe?
Still Illegal to shoot albino deer in Wi. THE deer state.My opinion, since they are a genetic variance/mutation, hen or rooster, get rid of em so they aren't in the gene pool.
I NEVER want hens shot, so I'm not one of THOSE people that don't care, it's just my opinion on a mutation.
Similar to albino deer. Most DNR/Game and Fish want those shot so they are removed from the gene pool.
My uncle told me that before, I just find that odd.Still Illegal to shoot albino deer in Wi. THE deer state.
