Back to our lease today for some more spraying. We arrived early this morning (6am) and were treated to 2 hens with poults. Counted at least 10. First hen had 5 or 6 and the second, the same. First hen just gathered hers and slowly walked away. The second hens poults got startled and flew up into some nearby short pines. I stopped the Atv I was on, shut it down and observed. Mama worked her way out into the shooting lane, started clucking, the poults flew down and off they went. The poults are growing rapidly. Glad to see they are able to fly, it will help them avoid predators.
