A Feilding resident took a risk with a sitting of eggs a fortnight ago, but received a pleasant surprise on Thursday, says the''Star. A brood hen had been set for hatching. After performing her duty for a period of eight to 10 days, she left the nest. The poultry fancier then gathered the eggs and placed them in a cupboard below his electric hot. water service where there was an assurance of a constant and even temperature. This novel form of incubation proved entirely successful, for on Thursday morning a little family made itself heard and an investigation disclosed a batch of fine, healthy chicks.
