I am so glad that your son did what he did, that you rescued the poor chick.Our veterinarian, or as mu husband (german-speaking) used to say, "Ourfamily veterinarian," often suspected that mothers of any species who rejectedtheir young were underfed and undernourished and just trying to survive.In the case of hens, though, I think that my Italian maternal grandmothermight have had that hen for our dinner!Love to each of you, Sharon, and to the surviving chickies,nTo: Group <mserslife >Sent: Sat, June 26, 2010 6:31:39 PMSubject: our chicks [2 Attachments]

One lonely little chick was hatched on the 21st. We named that one Solstice. The mother hen is a mean one and nearly pecked her to death before she was rescued. So she had to be brought into the house to be cared for. Poor little thing has been so lonely and has peeped and fussed for company. So today my son gave in and went to the feed store to buy her a little buddy. He came home with THREE instead of one. lol Here's a few pictures of the cute little girls. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
