Brooding chicken
Just sharing a fun experience.We have a brooding chicken that never leaves the nest box where we collect our eggs. Wanting to add a few more chickens, we purchased 7 chicks, each two days old. For a couple hours we placed them in a shoebox near the brooding hen so she could hear their little peeps. Thats what chicks do before they completely break out of the egg.

I work at a local nursery. The change I have seen since the economic collapse of 2008 is inspiring and saddening at the same time. After the crash the nursery nearly went under. Many others did.
