One hen with 8 poults Jasper County. 5-20 -24 5:36 PM. Beautiful site hope and pray all grow and survive these first couple of weeks and grow to maturity.
Momma with at least 5. I stopped the tractor and was backing up while I counted, so there may have been more. These were several weeks old with flight feathers and some back feathers. Noticeably larger than a bobwhite.
Was spraying herbicide on the edges of my garden when I saw movement in the weeds ahead of me. Turned out to be at least a half dozen poults with momma hen. I tried to scare them away from the freshly dripping glyphosate leaves.
2 hens ganged up with poults. No idea how many as I was on tractor and they were in high grass 50 plus yards away. I should see this group again for a better look.
