This is exactly how Alex came to be. TWO hens were sitting on the same clutch and then decided 'the heck with this'! and abandoned the nest. The eggs were cold so we tossed them out...only to hear some faint peeping in one! It had a pip and an alive chickie (Alex) inside! We were frantic about the other eggs but apparently none of them had any life in them. Alex just got 'lucky'! Whew!
