Great sight this morning!

On my jog I ran into 2 hens and about 20 Poults! Been a real long time for seeing that. Pictures not great. They all flew off to another field.

Saw the local Hen out in my back pasture and she still has 5 half grown poults in tow, biggest brood I have seen in recent years.

Had some friends over for breakfast! Flock looking good! About 20 Poults off to the right in the shadows.

So with all that rain I had some drainage issues. So I cut a swail in along the back of the house to let the water coming off the corn field find its way around my house. Can Turkey smell new earth!! lol They were just on it pecking away 10 minutes ago. Really nice looking hens.

Had a group of 22 walk across the front lawn an hour ago. Haven't seen a group of more than 5 at any given time in over a decade.

Birds came through again today. I hope its a different group because I'm seeing less Poults. Such big Hens!
