Chapter 192 Babies Coming Out Of Shell
The ice and snow melted. Everything revived. The current of the stream in the farm became more powerful than before. The snow that originally covered the withered grass had completely melted in the orange-red sunlight, turning into water and seeping through the earth. If you peeled off the dead grass on the surface, you would definitely find that the delicate seedlings hidden inside were growing strongly.
Nancy's last 'chicken' also successfully broke out of its shell. It was like a small white dumpling. It was more like a bird instead of a chicken. Its wings were larger than the previous two 'chickens'.
Nancy tried to feed it with vegetables and rice, but it refused to eat. Well, It seemed it ate meat too.
As for why we said "too"?
Because the first two also ate meat. Actually they were omnivores.They ate what chickens liked to eat. But they preferred to eat small insects such as bee pupae and earthworms. Of all, bee pupae were their favorites.
As for the reason, it should date back to the day when Nancy had a walk with a group of animals. They found a beehive in the woods and Quentin accidentally bumped into it, causing them to be chased by a group of bees.
Fortunately, everyone ran fast. And also thanked to the cold weather, not many bees came out to chase them.
When Louis and the others knew about it, the beehive was removed by Louis that day.
The sweet honey was kept to soak in water to drink. And the bee pupae inside were happily pecked and eaten by two 'chicks'. They were in a very good mood that day.
So in order to feed these two chicks, Nancy temporarily decided to add a project in the farm--beekeeping.
"Your brothers and sisters already have names. From today onwards, you are Gage."
Nancy held a few chubby bee pupae with tweezers and put them in front of Gage. Then Gage, who didn't eat anything and only screamed, finally opened its mouth and ate.
Ivan leaned over curiously to see, "What kind of bird could this be?"
"Could it be a dove?"
Adam said, "I think it's a sparrow."
Louis said, "Bah, sparrows and doves are not that big! I think it should be an eagle."
Louis hoped it was an Eagle, which was handsome. And he could take it to the playground to catch rabbits.
Martin touched his chin, "I think it might be a peacock."
Louis glanced at his brother with disagreement, "This is obviously a kind of bird that can fly in the sky. Can a peacock fly?"
Martin Brook squinted with his peach-blossom-shaped eyes, "Why not? Even if it can only fly for a short distance, peacock is still a bird."
"I think you are a peacock."
Martin said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Louis, "..."
Louis thought: Why do you think that was a compliment?
After feeding the little bird that had just hatched and settling it down, Nancy went out with other birds that were already able to roam around.
