Oops, Mom is not the real mom, The other mom is.
Switched at birth ...
. Two hens (white, brown) on nests hatching eggs ...
Egg rolls out onto floor ...
I placed the egg back in the nest that it fell out of (brown)..
Wrong ... As the chick grew older it became clear it belonged to Shmoo, the white hen. The father (Barney) is mostly brown so the baby is mostly brown but has feathers like Shmoo's (fuzzy), not like the other hen.
So Sorry Shmoo.
