Towards the end of August we placed a new order for meat chickens (Cornish X). They were to arrive at the beginning of September.
At the end of August we were very surprised to find one of our Buff Orpingtons had been setting a clutch of eggs under our old horse trailer. We left her alone and on September 3rd we found the eggs had hatched. Out of the lot she was sitting on, she hatched out 5 beautiful little fuzzballs. What luck it was to have our meat chicks arrive the very same day! We put 10 of those in with her 5 original chicks and moved her and chicks into the chicken hoop house.
What a good mama hen!
