Default RE: Hens still sitting on nest?

It is late but not always uncommon. A poult can actually fly in 10 days. The success rate would depend on food and water sources. And as for what everyone else is saying about not seeing poults all I have seen is four so far. Hopefully with the rains and exceptionly good growing season we have had so far, the cover has just been better than in the past and allowing them to hide from our prying eyes.
9 months 16 days and 2 hours til the SPring SEASON opens up in PA....
