Once in a while a mother hen jumps down from the nest box with her newly hatched chicks and accidentally leaves some behind. Hatchlings can only last a day without foraging for food so she can't wait for more to eggs to open. I found this little chick calling for mom and siblings. I put it on the floor and sure enough it ran right to mom, who was answering the call. Love those little ones. I have six in the bathroom and will keep them there for a while. The last batch we raised in the bathroom is doing fine out in the barn. All those flycatchers help so much. I haven't bought any new traps this year.
