I saw two hens with about 8 last week, but this week I saw two different hens with none but I know how good those poults can hide
I seen a hen the other day with 9..but what's scarry I seen 5 hens and a strutting gobbler and 2 Jakes last week so I think our floods that we've been having lately has wrecked alot of nest..
Here at home we have two hens with 7 poults between them. We also have 11 hens with no poults. The 11 hens are mostly flocked up and sometimes flocked up with the toms and jakes. I have heard of other folks seeing some hens with poults. I'm always amazed at how any poults survive to adulthood. There are so many predators for them to avoid and the weather pattern the past two years has been terrible around here. Hopefully they start showing up more and more around the area.
Seen this hen with 7 poults three times so far in a median between a busy 4 lane highway next to a convenient store diesel pumps LOL they can fly as I spooked them into a short pine.
not seen any poults in nc but I have seen hens
I'm wondering if some of ours didn't get flooded out. Earlier this week I seen 3 Toms strutting with hens..
Saw 2 hens last week here in the north GA mountains. One had 6 and the other had 8 polts. Then yesterday saw 6 hens, 5 longbeards and 2 jakes together in a field. 2 of the longbeards were strutting??
Yesterday I seen another long beard strutting with three hens alot of hens not nesting this year in my area
Hen's are still hiding out in my area, want be long I'm sure before we see them....

Not seeing any in Middle TN.
I saw some hen tracks in the mud with one or two sets of poult tracks alongside.
saw 3 diff hens now with poults one with 2 one with 4 and another one with 8.
Was happy to see 2 hens with 8 poults the other day.
Starting to show up here in Michigan. Had a hen and 8 poults walk thru the yard Friday and saw another hen with 8-10 poults while driving.
Have seen 2 hens with 10 to 12 poults a couple of times. In NC.
June 29th; saw 3 hens with 15-18 poults. Central Alabama
Was surprised to see four Toms hanging around two hens just outside Eagan, MN - no poults in sight - these we city birds if that matters?
I saw about a dozen or more of what I am sure are this Springs hatch. The birds were about 2/3rds the size of two large hens. That is my first sighting this year of young birds in Northern California
I've only seen one hen with poult so far this year alot of hens without its a little worrisome
I've seen three broodless hens grouped up, not a good sign. But then I've also seen a hen with 7 poults and a hen with three.
Saw three or four more this morning, the young ones looked like two hatches, couple about the size of a pheasant and the others about half that size.
Very very few in this part of KS. Ive seen 2
Here and there. The two hens that usually nest on my property only have 5-6 poults between them. That's fewer than usual. Been really wet here
I haven't seen not 1 poult or even a gen as far as that goes here in southern Missouri
Not seeing any poults in pa in my area.

I have three hens an 10 poults that are in my fields every day. One day they were in my yard
Seen lots of poults, mostly with 2 adult females. Looks like they are teaming up
Rained the last two days so I took a drive to see if turkeys were out in the open. Saw two gobblers in the middle of a hay field all fuzzed up looking sullen. Then caught a bunch coming out of a standing corn field. Looked like two hens with about 5-6 jenny's apiece. Didn't see one jake with them, looks like they've already been run off.
The three hens on my place are down to 7 poults from 10. They are getting pretty big now
I saw two hens with a pile of poult's in eastern New Mexico the other day, way out in the prairie, didn't even really consider it a place that would hold birds.
Had not seen any in the midwest at all.
Seeing few poults this summer in North East Ohio. Have seen 2 small separate flocks in last week or so and each one featured several hens with 1 poult in the groups. This springs rains were record setting here. Doesn't look real promising of a hatch from my few observations.
Had two adult hens with 18 poults behind the house several days over the past month. They come in and clean up the corn the deer missed. Happy to see so many survivors this far along.

Alright! Happy indeed
Not seeing any turkeys in my part of West KY.
River around here was way above flood stage for over 150 days. Wreaked havoc on hens being able to nest successfuly.
