 Re: Poults????????? Coalman wrote: Broods showing up.
Our back forty 1 hen 9 poults. Robin size and roosting.
Farm where I keep my lobster traps and boat 1 hen with 10 poults and one hen and five poults.
We are in for our third year of great brood production. That is some great news. You are blessed in NH. I almost made it to a couple New England States this year but stopped at PA and NY. Earl

Re: Poults????????? Saw my first poults of the season in Suffolk VA yesterday afternoon. Hen with 11 poults! They were just bigger than a balled up fist but crossed a backroad right in front of me. They flapped and got about a 3 foot lift crossing the ditch.
Good to finally see some!

Re: Poults????????? Wife and I drove around base Sat. morning right after the rain passed through. Now we seen some turkey, deer, rabbits and all. But the break down is listed below. I had the camera and the wife had the binos. We seen a lot of the turkeys along the road and the ones we seen in the fields the grass was short enough to see poults. We only seen one hen with 2 very small poults.
Not identified.......... 3
Hens........23
Longbeards..........7
Jakes........5
Have not seen first poult around the farmlands out around where I live. Did hear of 2 nests with the hens being run over on the first hay cutting.

Re: Poults????????? I have seen 2 different hens with 4 poults each in the last week. The poults were almost chicken sized, but not quite. Hope there are some that will make it.

Re: Poults????????? Finally saw some poults this morning!!!! Went out to the farm in Prince William with hopes of shooting a coyote but no luck. Did see a decent buck and then we we drove to the back of the farm we jumped a hen with about 10 little ones and all were able to fly up into the nearby trees.
