I feed them until a month before season. I feel like I can hold a few. As long as I can hold the hens that's all that matters! Ha! I feel the same way as you do about the leasing. Good, honest folks just can't catch a break anymore, or like most leases, it's paper company land where they come in without any notice and just start cutting. I guess it's the price to play the game. Beggars can't be choosers.
