James' family added 15 baby chicks to their brood.....unexpectedly! Mama hen cleverly hid her eggs in the yard so they would not be taken in the daily collection. The hen was discovered sitting in the middle of the yard with 15 little ones. James' family brought them inside to keep them warm. Mrs. Penhallow brought several of the chicks to school so the children could observe and touch them. The children were very gentle and the chicks didn't seem to mind being held by so many hands! We will be hatching our own chicks this spring. Some of the eggs will come from the Penhallow's. Thank you, Mrs. Penhallow for sharing this experience with us.
