Gander lost his mate and is now sitting on the eggs...

Or maybe find some babies just hatched and give them to him when you take the eggs.
Parenting is a strong instinct...
I have a rooster that shares the nesting duties with his hens.

This is so amazing!

I love the photos =) What a touching story. I suppose it all comes down to survival instincts, but it sure makes my heart smile.
