I've got a delta jake and hen. The jake's on his 2nd or third beard (I replace with cat whiskers I bought for my bow string ) and jenny's taken quite a few pellets in the line of duty but she's a tough lil bird. They fold up to fit in my vest but I usually cover their heads with orange and strap them to my stool when I'm moving. I'm thinking I may add a bobble head hen this year, and I have a jake fan I might just try staking in the ground to see what kind of reaction I might get.
