FAT MAMMA!

So, after I brought the kids home from school today, I decided to check in on our broody mom. I pushed up her breast feathers and only saw one egg. In a panic I looked all over for a chick and didn't see one. Then I saw the broken shell next to her.

I wondered, did another hen eat the chick? Had the egg just broken? Is there going to be a fuzzy little body around here? I was so sad.

But then I lifted up Fat's feather duster bottom and saw this:





Awwwwwwe!!!

And now we wait for the other egg to hatch! (And I'm still tempted to grab a chick or two from C Bar D. But we'll see. That's not half as exciting as the "spontaneous generation" going on in our coop.
