When I was ten, I visited woman's house and she gave me a chicken's egg from her chicken house for me to keep. I didn't know that eggs had to be fertilized by the rooster in order to hatch. I was excited because I thought that a chickie would hatch from it and I would have my own pet chicken! I cradled it on the car ride home and when I got home, I wrapped it in a blanket, put it in a basket and put it under my homework light to incubate it. Unfortunately, my parents told me that the egg WASN'T going to hatch and that if I left the egg there any longer, it would stink. I really had my hopes up :(.
