Looking closer, I couldn’t believe my eyes: chickens. Yellow, fragile, fluffy… alive.
They were everywhere. Under pieces of plastic, in torn cardboard boxes, among scattered objects. There were hundreds of them, maybe more.
I was shocked. How could these eggs have hatched, abandoned in such conditions – without heat, without care?
News of what had happened spread quickly through the city. People began to come to see. Some out of curiosity, others out of enthusiasm.
Many people adopted the chicks, moved by how life appeared out of nowhere.
Authorities and even scientists visited the scene of the incident. No one could explain the phenomenon. The temperature was too low for normal incubation, and there was no heating system.
Some researchers suggest that the heat generated by the decomposition of organic waste could create a favorable environment. This is possible, but not certain.
For me, as for many others, no explanation was necessary. It was a miracle.
