It rained hard the other night and my daughter forgot to turn on the heat lamp in the coop. When her husband went out the next morning, the "Henny Penny", Araucana, and the "Hippie Chick", White Crested Polish, large pullets, were huddled up in a plastic straw filled tub with chicks all under and over their backs. Later they were found with the two large pullets standing outside watching the chicks snuggled up in the nest all by themselves as they kept them in there.
I never would have suspected when we introduced the unlikely bunch that the pullets would have decided to be the adopted mothers. It was so sweet.
