some do, some don't. some years there are a lot of what I call jenny hens, they just distract the gobblers from coming to the call. they do not nest so they are just running around all day keeping the gobblers busy. some years there are almost none. I think it depends on whether or not its a late hatch. this past season mid june I could see chicks from quail sized to half grown on the same day.
