well, that was unexpected

Our little broody girl Tuulikki, who's been sitting on eggs (mostly not her own) for a couple months, hatched this by herself. We found the shell last night, chalked it up to damage and/or egg-eating, but didn't actually find the chick until this afternoon.
The eggshell is clearly from one of the Ameracaunas, probably Gladys. The sperm donor is obviously Hermy, our one and only rooster, who has hitherto failed to fertilize anything in several years of trying. That there is the really surprising part of all this. Because he's such a little guy, and he really prefers the big girls, and that can't be ergonomic.
Anyway, little chicklet hides under mama Tuulikki:
