Mama chicken hatches ‘mystery eggs’ she didn’t lay

A silkie hen is entrusted with the job of hatching several eggs that could be anything. All that’s known about the eggs is that they’re viable. Her adoptive firstborn turns out to be a gorgeous male duck. The rest, who knows what they are. But they’re handsome just the same. #birds #chickens #chicks #animals #pets

Two baby chicks inside a pet enclosure; one white with fluffy feathers in a blue wooden box filled with hay, another black and white standing on straw-covered ground.

Family is who you find. This hen finds a whole assortment of the family in these eggs that she was volunteered to look after. Her firstborn happens to be a duck.

The two words “hens” and “chicks” go hand in hand. If you met a hen without any chicks, it would catch you off guard for a few seconds. Like the video says, every hen is born to be a mother.

So here we have a gorgeous Silkie hen that lays eggs, but none of them hatch. The poor lass is without a rooster, and her human owner could tell that being a mom would mean something to her.

He takes some eggs given to him by a friend that could still be viable and has his Silkie hen sit on them. What’s in them is anyone’s guess. They could literally be anything.

The first hatch is a duck, who the hen raises like her own son. The older he gets, the less he looks like his mother, but she doesn’t care. The other hatches are unknown but loved just the same.

Big Brother Duck watches over his mismatched siblings alongside his adoptive mother. It’s safe to say that mama hen is happy. At least none of them were hawk, owl, or snake eggs.
