Checking on the clover fields to see what needed to be bush hogged. Almost ran over a hen as she squacked out from the from of the Polaris Ranger. Was riding slow and it about scared the poo out of me.
I haven't ever heard a hen make the calls she was doing to her babies, or the sound she made as she came out from the front of the Ranger. Makes me think I may have ran over her.
Counted 8 poults around 6" high.
Slowly backed out and left them.
God Bless,

I just saw a hen with 10-12 poults about the size of quail. They were moving fast on the ground and I would think they can fly, but I was careful not to disturb them. Rain has slowed to a drizzle now, but it has been pouring down all morning.
These poults had to have hatched during a time of a lot of rain, and have seen a lot of rain during their short lives. But it looks like the whole clutch has survived and even thrived during a time of unusually wet weather.
It makes me really question the commonly believed idea that wet weather spells doom for poults.
