They were everywhere—between tires, behind plastic bottles, and in the cracks of old furniture. How did they survive? How did they hatch without an incubator, hen, or care? The news quickly traveled throughout the city. People gathered to witness the “miracle.” Scientists were perplexed; there was no logic behind it. The landfill provided no conditions for hatching, particularly after such a long time. Locals began dubbing them “chicks from nowhere.”
The chicks began to be adopted – some out of compassion, some out of superstition. Although government agencies could not provide an explanation, city residents knew that these were more than merely chicks. It was a wonder born in the rubbish.
