Yesterday, while rushing out the door for work, my husband yells for me "Come see this!" Annoyed because I'm already late, I go check it out. He had a chick in his hand. He found it outside, all by itself. We've had a pigeon sitting on a chicken egg for a few weeks now and low and behold, it hatched it! I couldn't believe it...how could such a small bird hatch a chicken egg? I'll never know, but I have the proof...a chick & a cracked egg shell under a pigeon. I might trade my silkies in for pigeons, LOL. I wish that I had gotten a picture!
