North central Lincoln Co. Poults are almost nonexistent. Severely depressing.

Spent the last 2 days in the field working on farms.
Running a 2 pph average right now between multiple broods and lone hens. Only seen 1 bachelor group of males.
2pph isn't enough to maintain the population, but WAY better than the last 2 years, so I'm thankful for that.

Saw some more hens without poults as the trip finished up... prob around 1.5pph average for the trip. But all the poults I saw were a third grown, so should make it at this point.

Finally seen a few poults on my drive home. Bout 20 miles from the house and 1 group has 3 and the other had either 4 or 5. Possible they were the same bunch but I think they were different.
Still not seen any around the house or farm. Seen several solo hens the last few weeks.

They're having to come to town or go near houses to keep the predators off of them, hawks mostly.

I hope they adapt and prosper, just like the groundhogs had to with the coyotes.

Finally saw some today. At what used to be our best farm Finally saw roughly 15ish. Looks like they just started flying. Then at our house saw 6 couldn't fly yet. First time in 6 maybe 7 years I've seen pouts around our house. Maybe all the trapping and habitat improvements are Finally paying off.
Sequatchie county. My wife saw two hens with four poults. Predation is strong around here.

My daughter took this from the front porch this week. She said there were 4 adults and at least 15 littles. Way way more than we have seen for years.
