Signs of spring??? I'm voting this is summertime! I saw a couple of hens with some little ones in tow the other day crossing a road. Hope they all had good hatches.

I've seen several family groups this year. Most have 6-10 young-uns in the flock. I'm going to call it a good hatch around here ;D

Dennis -its about the same around here 10-12 & as little as 6 young-uns to a hen.

 

[Bird (this time)]

So are the little ones called "gobblets"?????? ??? ;D

Talked to a buddy of mine that moved out here from Georgia today. Told him about the young'ins that I've been seeing, and the ones that he has at his place. I mentioned about the "tasty tender young ones" as a joke, but he told me about the poachers in Georgia that picked them off with .22's. Called em "fryers"

Thats bad news all the way around.
Both for the turkey population & the legel hunter.
