I know of only one nest we broke up this year but it appeared the eggs were only days from hatching. The hen is grieving over the nest it appears . We see her every day at the nest for over a week now . Last year I know we broke up 3 nest and killed one hen . Have seen only one group of poults with a hen but we had over 16 hens at the end of deer season . Only seen those two so hopefully a few of the others raised successfully. Rolled over 500 bales this week .
