There was an old chicken who lived in a shoe........

....Had so many children she didn't know what to do....

This momma will take pretty much any baby you give her so we are letting her do some of the work of us She does have heat in the pen so she doesnt have to cover all those babies.











They are clearly adopted kids...


I was going to try and thin her flock a little but I nearly lost a finger......

More like the "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" LOL! What a good mama! I have a cat that will take in any baby. Last fall she nursed an orphan squirrel along with some kittens.
