It sucks but it happens. I posted earlier this year about my neighbor hitting two nests within 100 yards of each other while cutting hay. Killed both hens and busted 30 eggs. One had 14 and the other looked like 16.

Hate to see that, I noticed a hen was hanging out alot up by the highway on your place when I would pass by. I figured the way the fields had grass that there would be several nests.

Yep, there were two hens that I saw there and both had a bunch of little ones about two weeks apart. They are still hanging around along with another hen. I saw a tom in full strut the other evening but had left my camera at the house...came right across my field.

Isn't it very late for a nest to still be active? I wonder if that nest had already been abadoned, for whatever reason? I once found a nest with unbroken eggs still intact in November.
