Two hens in the front yard this morning- 15 poults. One hen in back yard with 8 poults. Still only about the size of a quail, but plenty active.

Saw my first batch yesterday, 2 hens with about 13. Several about the size of 6 week old chicken chicks and 6 or 7 about the size of small quail.

Had 2 hens walk past the house this morning. I only saw poults with one hen. But she had about 8 little softballs with her.

That is good. A average clutch is 12 max 15. Most turkey bio like Michael Chamberlin have said that by 6 months a hen will maybe 2 make it out of her clutch. Predators is the most common cause weather would be next. If a poult were to get wet in the first month of hatch they will most likely die of hypothermia if they don't get dried off and warmed up.
