Hopefully this rain didn't hurt their chances to bad. That long dry spell sure helped the hens that were early on the nest.

Been wondering about that too! The same with fawn mortality.

Been watching the hens with poults around the place. Every hen has between 6 and 10 babies. Not sure if that's good? It sure seems good to me!

Funny you'd say that Iceman-newspaper in Utah some years back ran an article and picture a lady had taken right at dark of what she said was a "dinosaur" that ran across the road in front of her.  One look and you could see it was obvisouly a turkey-newspaper bought the dinosaur aspect hook, line and sinker!
