Gabi and I were laughing at one of our hens a couple of nights ago , she raised 6 chicks last May and one of them was trying to roost under her wing , the " chick " is now as big as her but still trying to cuddle up and she was daft enough to let it...

We had the same thing last year when we let the peahens raise some turkey poults for us. I'm not going to try that again!!  ;D
