Baby Chick

One of our hens have been nesting for a while now and surprised us today when her egg hatched out. She laid her egg in one of our old flower pots that was sitting on top of a deep freezer on our back porch. Rarely has she gotten off that egg. My husband decided to slip another egg under her so we could have two of them hatch out. Only one of them hatched so far but maybe the other one won't be too much longer, maybe a day or two. We brought the little chick inside and put it in a box with a drop light shinning down on it. It's already pecking at it's food and drinking it's water. I don't understand how these tiny things know what to do. It's amazing.
