[QUOTE="utvolsfan77, post: 5647816, member: 14847"] Had an interesting development here in southern Greene County. About two weeks ago my brother-in-law was mowing one of the fields at my homeplace when he hit a hen. A circular mower makes a mess of a turkey or a fawn pretty fast. Anyway, one of my nephews was thinking fast. He walked back to the area where the hen was at when she was hit, and he finally found the nest. It had 12 eggs in it that miraculously were not damaged. Matthew picked them up carefully and took them down to the house, then put them in an incubator. Last Thursday morning nine of the eggs hatched out, then the remaining three eggs hatched late Thursday night. Matthew has now become "mom" to a dozen poults. He placed them in a two-story chicken house that wasn't being used and is caring for them much the way he would a group of chickens. Will try to get some pics in the next few days. [/QUOTE]
