Often Chickweed doesn’t become apparent until you disturb some soil, for example tilling a spot for a garden. Then it shows itself later that season or the following year just before the gardening season. There are also small varieties of Chickweed that grow very close to the ground under your grass and don’t necessarily form a mat.
Or, you just might not even have Chickweed on your property. That would be a good thing unless you are looking for some for use as a herb or feed for your chickens.

I live in Louisiana and live on 3 acres and there are weeds everywhere. I have a lawn that is about 1.5 acres in size, wooded area that is about 1 acre in size, and the rest is just overgrown, untended grass that I let die so I wouldn’t have to mow so much lawn. I had a weed that grew in a mat-type fashion, but the flowers had only 4 petals and were not deeply divided. I think chickweed is very hard to find.
