When I moved in here a little over a year ago I only had 2 hens. Last summer there were no poults.
During the winter I did a little trapping and removed 4 raccoons and 2 possums. That may have helped.
This morning momma hen brought her babies down to show me. Or maybe she just wanted to dust under the Cedar tree. Either way, she woke me up with her continuous clucking and purring. Cool to see her leading her 12 grouse size babies around. You can barely see a few to her right in this picture. My camera was dead and my phone struggles taking pictures through a window screen.
