I saw my first brood of 2022 this morning along our township rd. Couldn't count them but the ones I saw looked to be about a week to 10 days old. This is southern Ohio
Post your sightings when you have them
One week ago I saw a hen with 9 chicks :turkey2:
I saw a hen with 6-7 nice sized poults yesterday- they scattered and the poults flew up into pine trees pretty dang high- I'm in Arkansas - I'll say they were 6 week old or more
Saw two hens with one poult and then later three hens with about all they could handle!
Cool! I enjoy watching them.
Great, hope they do well. I saw a hen with several about that size last Wednesday. Too far away to count, but she had several.

Seen 3 different broods in my area of MS. Also have a pic of a gobbler with 5 hens on Memorial Day weekend. I'm hoping they were just young hens
Tried to post a trail cam video...didn't work but a friend in Illinois has cool video of a hen with 6-8 poults, tiny but active!
Wife just videotaped some in our driveway today. 3 hens and maybe 10 poults.

Saw my first ones yesterday. I was taking my grandkids for a side by side ride and flushed them. I'm not sure how many. Looked like 6-8. It made my day. My neighbor saw a hen with around 14 poults.
Time for some Sun rise sunset coon shoots boys!

Last week one day, 1 hen and 6-7 poults. Was surprised to see that many with her.

had a hen and three poults in my yard this morning morning
2 hens with 4 poults last week. 2 hens with 9 poults today.
First sizeable broods we've saw on this well managed bottomland area in a few springs.
The difference? Summertime flooding and much higher than average summer rains didn't hit us this summer like has been happening the past few springs. We are about bone dry and have at least 3+ nice brood groups running around. No season changes or bag limit reductions would have fixed what mother nature has.
Finally saw a couple lil ones down here in the dirty south ...
3 separate hens on Sunday, each had around 10 poults.
2 hens approximately 15 to 20 poults total. Banty chicken size on poults. This was today.

Seen my first public land poults yesterday, by my house, 2 hens, couldn't count how many, but there were a bunch of little heads bobbin and weaving through the grass.
1 Hen with about 6-8 pheasant size poults here in Missouri.

There by the high grass where the hen and the two poults are standing is a little pond my son put it for the turkeys and deer.
saw my first hatch of the year this past weekend here in southern WV. one old hen and 9 pigeon size poults.
Saw my first poult today, spotted a single hen in road, saw movement behind her, was a single poult, small , quail size. This was where a large warehouse was just finished. Used to be a few turkeys in farm field every year, now its a 2.7 million square foot empty warehouse. Haven't seen a single Tom since construction started year and half ago. But they must be here.
Saw the same group today I saw a couple weeks ago, down from 14 to 6...about the size of a big chicken.

The last 2 weeks I've been driving around the area i live in, quite a bit, seen well over 100 poults of various sizes.
Saw 2 hens and 9 half grown poults in tow. First I have seen this year.

Haven't seen any here in Southern In. But then again I only saw 4 hens during season.
Saw a hen with 2 poults yesterday here in south Arkansas- both about the size of Banty chickens -maybe they will make it through!!
Ive had a hen with 2 poults show up on my cameras in the last 2 weeks.
