Poult report 2022

[LenS]

Right at exit 19 on I-24 yesterday morning there were 2 hens with what looked like 13-15 poults.

I just saw a hen with at least two poults that were smaller than quail! Pretty late hatch for them is say.

Finally see some poults and they're in my own backyard! The woods behind my house have been since cleared to plant more houses... I guess we might now see a suburban flock now that the predators have moved out...

Cam across 2 separate hens last week that both were nesting on eggs still, one nest had 6 eggs and the other I couldnt get a good count on as they were deep in a downed tree top from logging.

Up here on the tractor and low and behold I round the corner and there is a hen with 8 good sized standing in my clover! I was also sent a picture of two hens with a bundle of them this week. Looks like a great year!

I went for a short ride in the neighborhood this evening and saw several half grown poults and a few hens in the road!

Been seeing 4 hens right down the road and not a single poult with them. Field is a little grown up but as close as I've been would've seen them.

Saw multiple groups of hens & poults last week in Wayne Co while on tractor. Some had 1-2 others 7-8. All & all I think we had a very good hatch.

We've been in the study area for past two years and both years had great hatches. Know that it takes 3 years to make a trend but believe the 2 week delay was a plus, at least for us.

Strutting Poult entertained me for a while the other morning. 16 with 4 hens is a solid average.

I have been hearing and still hearing numerous reports of good hatch and poult survival for middle and west TN. Timely hot dry weather has it's perks.

 

[UT-longbeard]

6 hens on camera all week. No poults. Cheatham County.

I've heard bobcats are hard on the turkey population. What do y'all think about domestic cats that are out in the woods?

 

[Buzzard Breath]

I was all over Lewis County this morning and saw a lot of poults. I think they're getting big enough they're much easier to see.

 

[SES]

Thought I had just 1 poult, but another hen brought 7 more poults in to the back yard a couple weeks ago for a total of 8 for me.
