Hahli is Hiding Something!

Hahli is a hen we hatched out last spring.  Her breed is an unknown mix, but she is turning out to be a good brooder.  See what I found under her this morning?
Instead of plugging in the heat lamp and running up our electricity bill, we are going to let Hahli keep the chicks under her and see what she can do.

I was actually surprised to see this little chick.  I have not been involved with the chick hatching process this year, but last night I decided to go out and candle what they (Mark and the kids) had going.  This little one had just started pipping-it had made its first hole in the shell.
