This pic came in on one of my security cams yesterday.
Appears to be at least 7 chicks.

How old you think these chicks?

I had 2 hens here at my house in Lincoln county yesterday. Had 6 or 8 poults that I could see about these same size. No idea how old. First poults I have seen here in about 8 years. I have a 10 acre ag field that I was leasing to a farmer. Stopped that last year and let the field go fallow. Nicely grown up now with perfect nesting cover and a ton of food. Hopefully these will become a resident bunch. Lord knows we need it. This part of Lincoln has nowhere near the turkeys it had when I moved here 10 years ago. Also killing all the Yotes and coons that I can will help.

Seen Hen with 3 poults weeks ago crossing rd….. Yesterday seen 2 hens with 6/7 poults all very healthy. Nest predator control definitely helping!
