[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5874791, member: 11842"] That was a good read. My concern is about the 2nd attempt of nesting. From what I understand, those 2nd nests are much more likely to fail because of timing. If they attempt a 2nd nest 3-4 weeks after the first one fails, those poults are going to be born in hotter weather with fewer fresh sprouted browse to nibble on. Thus their survival rate is lower. And that is one of many reasons why I hate growing season burns. It will absolutely scorch nests and I've been told it's ok because the hens will just make a 2nd nest. Maybe, but if those nests have a lower rate of success then that isn't a good thing. [/QUOTE]
