Baby Chicks Hatch From Walnuts?

So we have this poor confused hen that found a crate of walnuts we had sitting by the side door of our house.  One day in May she decided she was going to sit on those walnuts and try to hatch them.  That poor chicken sat and sat and sat.  I started feeling really sorry for that poor hen.  Finally, I had the idea of putting a few eggs under her to actually make her efforts worth her while.  Today Cheyenne came in screaming all excited to tell us there was one little baby chick peeping in the walnut basket.  A little while later....there were two little baby chicks peeping in the walnut basket.  We are still waiting on the third.  So our poor confused hen became a mama chicken today.  Very exciting!
