Disgusted-

Well, you probably didn't drop far from her nest.

My favorite mother hen was the one we placed duck eggs under. When they hatched, the ducklings made a beeline to the frog pond and jumped in. Mother hen was not too pleased about this but she was outvoted 12 to 1 and eventually learned to wade around the edges of the pond catching pollywogs for her weird children. Thought you'd like to know!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
