Nesting?????

For what its worth, the roosters weren't in the same area. They were several miles away. This was in the second week of the season. I saw and shot both fully colored young roosters and a couple that you could just tell were roosters.

Lock and Load!

Ah--got it.

I was under the impression (from your previous post) you saw two different/aged broods being raised by the same hen. This is what I was explaining away

I am pretty sure the term used to describe the occurrence of "second Hatch" would be statistically insignificant. The fact that this is an anomaly is well researched. The chance of a second hatch is about the same as oldandnew finally seeing the light and agreeing with we on issues of modern agricultural practices.

I think "anomaly" is a good word for double broods and the chance of O&N "seeing the light" (or should I say turning to the dark side)
