Several weeks ago, one of our chicken hens and one of our guinea hens started to brood on their clutches of eggs. They've been faithfully sitting on their nests and today, we went out to the chicken coop and a chick had hatched and fallen out of the brood box!
Needless to say, we were quite excited, but only touched the chick long enough to put it back with it's mama. Normal brood time is 21 days, and we are hoping to have several more chicks in the next day or so.

I love it's little head popping up from mamas wing! That is soo cute!
