Our population increased by 12 Saturday morning. Roberto went outside near the chimney at about 6am to find our broody hen, now named Big Momma, with a dozen baby chicks keeping warm under her fluff of feathers. Amazing, since from my research online, it appears 10 is about max for successful jumbo hen hatching & Big Momma isn't jumbo by any stretch. We noticed she was a pretty attentive mom, so instead of machine-raising the little peeps, we moved everyone into the greenhouse, where they are safe & sound from cats, enthusiastic Weimarinars & their peers.
