Her eggs hatched and she is gone. Im glad I did find her nest. Farmer was set to disk that field after lunch. Also those seemed a bit small for hens. But they do seem a bit big for poults. My eggs hatched around 2 weeks ago so yea I guess they are hens. But the Hens I have seen either on camera or with binoculars, or just walking by my bedroom window are the size of jakes. The birds in this pic seem pretty small.
