hatching from on top of the roof

[orientphoenix]

i just wanted to share this crazy story with you guys

so my hen disappears for awhile and i couldn't figure out where she went, i assumed she was killed my a predator then i saw her again hanging out on top of the coop. Turns out she was on top of her coop laying eggs and hatched out 4 chicks who managed to get down from there too. I only knew because i saw egg shells on the ground and further investigated to find that the rest of the egg shells are on top of the coop roof.



did anybody ever have that happened to you guy too.
