Is it normal for Toms and Jakes to get together for a convention?

Anyone else experience this? This is the second year in a row that the Toms and Jakes have descended on our recently hayed fields. Last year it lasted for over two weeks and a couple more showed up every day.

I'm interested to see how many show up and how long they stay this year.

Bugs, snails, itty bitty snakes…easy pickins.

Breeding season has just about wound down... so the males are in bachelor groups and hens/ poults are grouping up for safety.
