Today, I was letting out our chickens (we have three hens and a rooster), and I heard them clucking away... But also a different, little cheeping. So, I went to investigate, and we were wondering if it was gonna happen, because one of our hens was stealing the eggs laid by the others to sit on them, she had about a dozen under her, how they fitted, I don't know.
But when I lifted the top of the coop, I saw this tiny tiny little puff of yellow sticking out from under the hen (named Afrodite, by my mother, because the hen's got this AWESOME afro of black feathers... She loves punny names.) Of course the first thing I did was reach in to see, and got a smart peck from Afro-head, but the chick poked its little head out and started cheeping softly. It was sooooo cute!
