I saw a flock of poults on the Lay Dam road Saturday. I almost got the camera on them before they got out of sight, but they were a little too quick for me. They were very small for so late in the year; not more than half grown. I saw 5 or 6, but I don't have any idea of the total number.

I think I have seen more poults this year than I ever have, and would proclaim it a great hatch were it not for so many folks here saying that they haven't seen any at all. They have decimated my chufas, but I haven't seen the poult flock lately.. There have been 2 hens that didn't hang out with that flock. They didn't raise any poults and just hung out together all the time. They got to the point of being almost tame; wouldn't even leave the chufas when I drove the cart through on the way to the garden. And now there is just one. No idea what happened to the other, but turkeys live a tough life.
