You could be right about that in certain parts of the state. However , I recall one spring while walking thru a field , I came upon a nest on the ground and accidently stepped on a poult , killing it. I didn't realize the nest was there because the grass was high. At this point the hen came charging at me flapping her wings in her attempt to scare me away from the nest. When I looked down , I saw about 10 poults running around my feet in the tall grass. I left the area immediately and felt like s--- for killing the poult. The only thing I don't remember is if it was in the beginning or the end of May.
