How about a Believe it or Not stories!!

I'll start!

When I was around 10 yrs old...just a few years back LOL ( I wish!)
my grandfather raised chickens (yes for eating). He also had a rooster so...he would get baby chicks too! Well, I asked him for a fertilized egg.

We had the type of radiators that were cast iron...not the aluminum ones of today. The way my bedroom was I had them that were on two walls making a nice corner incubator...I also had wall to wall carpeting. I took some hay from Pepe along with the egg and placed it in the corner of the radiator....I would turn it everyday (I saw baby chicks being born at the Science Museum so thought...I am going to try this!) It takes 21 days for a chick to be born. I told my Mom that I could hear clicking inside the egg. Of course she played the game with me but, really thought I was out of my mind! On the 21st my Mom told me that there probably wasn't anything inside the egg besides an egg and told me to open it ...I cracked the egg open and there was a full size chick in it!! If I had waited another day or 2 it probably would have hatched on it's own.


Believe it or Not!
