the lost world-central florida
a few months back, i lost my pilgrim gander to a bobcat attack. shortly after that, the girls started to lay and went broody. i couldn't stand to see all their hard work go for nothing, so a friend gave me a few chinese x eggs and i bought a few pilgrim eggs and slipped 'em under the girls under cover of darkness one night.

this morning, as i was making my rounds, i came across this in one nest:

upon further investigation, i found these little guys:
