Turkey numbers?

[LET EM GROW]

Only the most dominant gobblers do the majority of the mating although subdominant gobblers and jakes will sneak in and breed a few hens..

That is from what YOU just posted.

When a hen is bred for days, but the hen population is higher than the male population like in most instances.. how does the (1)dominant bird do the majority of the breeding? The hens do not take turns getting bred. It just doesn’t happen like that.

When a hen is ready, she will let whatever male bird is around do the deed. This BS that it's all done by pecking order is plain and simple wrong.

Turns out most of those jakes you guys think are doing the breeding are only dry humping, only 25% of them are even capable of fertilizing eggs. https://www.arkansashunting.net/threads/jakes-breeding.269618/

I mentioned this in an earlier comment, that most jakes cant successfully breed a hen. They are not equipped enough in most cases
