Early sighting

Our chickens are just unstoppable this year! We had 27 chicks at the end of last year and now there appears to be another 11 on the loose. The cunning hen hatched her brood in the bush and hasn't been close enough for us to catch them yet. 

I think we'll let them grow up a bit then cull the roosters (and cook them like poussins?) and keep the hens. We'll have to get rid of our mature rooster too seeing as he is both their father and brother and we really don't need any more chicks.
