We have seen a hen with 8 so I’m not sure if she was one of those or those are all new . Chicken size on the poults .

Is this just an Alabama thing or southern happening? Is it just normal fluctuations or is there an actual reason? Personally I’m of the opinion it’s like the ruffed grouse population swings up north. They seem to be in a 8 year swing. Riding and falling for no reason to why than it just happens is what I was told way back in the early 2000s. I’m sure there are local reasoning but this seems to be across the board this year. It as a very wet spring and always heard that was bad for turkeys and poults in particular So what gives Saw a hen with one poult the other morning. Poult was just old enough to fly. “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan

I've seen more poults and jakes in KY this summer than I've seen the past 10yrs combined during the same time of year "In Alabama, we prefer to kill small bucks on big properties"-Turkey247

Moving the season will be the stated reason by the department. And with as much proof as they had to delay it!
