I think i found a turkey nest in the early summer.
i was driving my fourwheeler down a long driveway of a abandoned house, when i see what i thought looked like a dove (from a distance) as i get closer it goes into the tall grass, as i look i see a hen rise, as it runs away i see 7-10 chicks running behind her. i stop and look at where the hen was and it was at the base of a small tree (it looked like a apple tree) and there was grass all packed down near the tree and i have a few questions.

1. Do you think its a turkey nest?

2. Because it was nice and shady under the tree could they just have been in the shade hiding from the sun? (i saw them there a few times)

3. Would a hen who had already hatch her chicks return to the nest?

4. Would a hen return to the nest to hatch the next years chicks?
