Poults and Hens

[Philnlucky]

Rode up on this group yesterday evening on the farm. There were 3 hens and 12-14 poults. I don't recall seeing them already able to fly this early.

Great seeing them fly. Much better chance for more to make it.

Saw a hen with six poults in a farm house backyard on a back road in Bartow yesterday.
