As you have probably surmised, chickens ain't the brightest critters on earth. One of our hens had a secret clutch of eggs in the back of our barn and managed to hatch six chicks the day before the cold rain came. After letting her care for them for about 12 hours I decided they might have a better chance in the comfy confines of a heated pen. I'm sure as they fatten up the local coyotes will thank me!
