Hens a laying.

[BOFF]

Doing some discing today and stopped in the corner of a what and oats fields to disc it under at 6:30 pm . Ate my dinner and sat there in the tractor for for 5-8 minutes. As I was about to put the tractor in gear to get started, a turkey flew out of the grass about 15 yards from the tractor. I got out and eased over to where she flew out, and saw one egg on the  bare ground.

I was going to disc a few rows under and leave grass on both sides to see if the turkeys would like it. Needless to say, I didn't do anything other than back out and leave.


God Bless,

That was a good decision buddy!

Glad you saw her before you started. I've been afraid that's going to be the case up here for the past week.

It's early for that, yes? I wouldn't expect them, in Alabama to start layin' for another week or so. A week or so after that here in Tennessee.

Why is it that when I read your thread title I wanted to yell:

FIVE - GOOOOLD RINGS!


Sorry....

I jumped a hen in late June one year and she had 14 eggs in her nest. I backed out and watched with binocs. She hatched them sometime around the 3rd week of July. That was way late.

I was thinking it was too early but with the weather about a month ahead of where it should be.....Makes sense

I got my first egg today.
