Re: Poults!
I hit the wrong button before I was finished. I Live on the Clarke County side of Bluemont. I lived here all my life and know the whole area real well.

Re: Poults!
Randy, we are out here most of the time but still have the place in Reston. Been doing a bit of fixing up here prior to final move.
Beard Buster, I live off Foggy Bottom Road on a 6.5 acre lot. Trying to improve the land some & to get to know the neighbors still and figure out the place.

Re: Poults!
Amazing. I was in Strasburg Va today and look down a gravel road and see a hen walking with 8 poults. The amazing thing is they were all the size of quail. Talk about a late hatch. PS. Saw two Jakes today also and three other hens with no poults (although they could have been in the tall grass. Latest I've ever seen poults this small.

Had a friend said he seen a hen with 5 poults last week a little bigger then a quail. Have not seen anything lately, but I have got an eye exam for next Tuesday. Earl

Re: Poults!
Ghost---i don't think the problem is your eyes……. Mother nature has not provided much to look at in this spring-summer hatch unfortunately.

Re: Poults!
Two hens with 6-7 half grown poults this am. Most poults I've seen in perhaps whole summer.
