This weekend I am babysitting an egg.
My Aunt owns chickens... God only knows why. Anyway, something attacked one of her hen's nest and killed all but one lonely little egg. Whatever happened was so traumatic that the hen has gone insane and has decided one of the other grown chickens is her baby and refuses to sit on the nest.
Okay, truthfully, we don't know yet if this egg is 'alive'. My Aunt had to go out of town for the weekend.
So... here I am with my incubator and my egg. I turn it once every few hours and I'm keeping him at the right temp. Honestly, I hope the chicken lives and just doesn't hatch this weekend.
I have absolutely zero idea what to do with a baby chicken.
Although I'm betting keeping the cat away from it is Rule #1.
