While in California, my neighbor checked and picked up the eggs of Schalluleke, one of our chickens. She was laying eggs near the fence so he could easily collect them. He didn't pick them up every day,so on wednesday the day I came home she was staying and brooding on two eggs, plus one stone egg. This week wednesdaynoon I discovered that both eggs were hatched. However one of the babies was missing. Don't know what happened but the remaining one has a sore foot and can not keep up with a busy scratching mother. Actually it is too late in the season and it was too wet and cold outside so I am now keeping it in a box. It likes to be craddled in my hand. Luckily a chicklet can feed itself. But because it has a bad leg I have to put the crumbs nearby. I had wanted my chickens to be more friendly, but this one thinks I am his mother.
