Title: Good Hatch
Post by: Fishnfowler on July 28, 2014, 09:55:10 PM: I've got 3 broods in my backyard right now. There are a total of 20 chicks, but one of the hens only turned up with 3. It looks to be a decent hatch from what is running around our place. Anyone else have a report?

There is another group with more chicks but we don't have a count on them yet. We had a lot of rain in June, I don't think our hatches went all that well here but will know more in a couple weeks as they move more into the open.
