When I was younger, I had a fascination with all things farm, particularly chickens. I pestered a family member for one of her chickens, but she wouldn't give me a live one (much to Mom and Dad's relief). Instead, she gave me an egg and told me that if I took really good care of it, it would hatch. Well, I set it up on my bedside table, in a nice padded box and waited. Even after a few weeks had passed, I was still waiting for *MY* chicken to appear. The egg disappeared a few days later (My mom said she threw it out eventually.) If only I had known about the heat needed aspect of hatching eggs!!! I had really wanted a pet chicken. At least the egg never broke!
