Jim your probably right in the nest raiders could of robbed the 1st sit. After which a hen turkey will only set up 1 more nest if possible. The size of quail tho is very small for a poult for this time of yr. Pretty resilient birds and will most likely be OK. Here in Iowa poults are bigger than Pheasants already. I seen a group yesterday of 6 hens and at least 50 pouts running ahead of me in timber. So that group is doing really wellI saw a hen turkey with 4 or 5 of her young today. They were smaller than an adult quail. I thought they would be larger than that in Ohio by August. Maybe her first eggs gotten eaten by a racoon.
