a very hot year so far,
for eggs and chicks, just last month we mention a truck load of eggs hatching in the warm sun, well it appears it is just as hot outside the small city
of Marneuli, in Georgia, where there is a landfill site, which recently turned into a chick hatchery, after the
scorching heat caused hundreds of spoiled eggs disposed of by a local poultry
farm to hatch,
a video posted on Sunday by Facebook user Sahid Bayramov shows the landfill crawling with cute yellowish chicks chirping continuously and looking for their mother, also visible in the video is a large pile of eggs which is presumably where all the tiny birds came from, Marneuli
mayor Timur Abazov offered some insight into what had happened, “They [the
poultry farm] believed the eggs were spoiled,” the mayor told reporters, “They
were thrown away at the dump. But there are rocks – and the sun heated the
eggs. The conditions were the same as if hens had hatched them.” so
basically, the farm disposed of some spoiled eggs and the heat caused them to
hatch, but what became of all those hundreds of chicks in the end? Now the sad
part, “So many were hatched. Most chicks have been saved for now – although
they may be eaten soon,” mayor Abazov said. “Many local people took the chick’s
home.” I guess not as pets!
