Are any of you seeing any hens with poults yet?
Saw a hen yesterday morning in Putnam County with about 14 brand new poults. Aside of the weather we had prior to and during the first coupla days of the season, the hens have been pretty fortunate to have a warm and dry nesting season. Hopefully the poults will be as lucky.

There is a hen nested just about 40 yards away from my house and she has several poults but I haven't gotten close enough to count them.

Funny thing is I was just going to come in from mowing the lawn and post this question. Does anyone know how long they have to incubate?

Saw a hen with 9 new ones yesterday evening when I was out tilling up an area for food plots. Bad thing was, 25 minutes later jumped a fox darting through the weeds about 150 yards away.

Had 2 hens and about 30 poults flush about 15 yards away from me yeasterday. I headed up to a 5 acre field on the property I hunt to check a camera, and when I got up there I stopped to look around. The field is really grown up, about 4 or 5 feet tall in some places, and when I started walking again they took off flyin. Scared the chit out of me. The little ones where about the size of a chucker. They flew up in the trees and started chirping away. I hope there's some future toms in there that survive.
