chick hatching
As usual, there was some drama. The hens left the nest with the two chicks, leaving behind one egg that was in the process of hatching. The chick inside was loudly peeping and I just couldn't leave it. We brought it under a warm light and a few hours later, voila! Of course, then what? It was late at night and the hens were in bed and we decided to take a chance that they'll reject/peck it and shove it under them. As of this morning it was still alive and with them and now I'm forcing myself to not look in on it and let nature take its course.
