Then, he went to see the babies.
"Hey, Miss D., are these 2 sick? Why are they laying there?"
"Oh, Beaker, they are broody. That means they want to hatch baby chicks out of eggs"
Beaker asked if he could see the eggs.
Beaker said "I don't see no eggs! Are they inbisible eggs?"
"No, Beaker, there are no eggs. Just pine shavngs. Broody gals get very determined to hatch something- anything"
Beaker had an idea. "We could make gazillions of dollars if they hatch out baby pine chips! We could water them, and make them grow, and share them with everyone from BYC "
Oh, I already need aspirin.
Beaker jumped up on the roost. "Is this one booty too?"
"That's 'BROODY', Beaker, and I don't know. She used to lay eggs from up there, but now she just sits sometimes. I suppose she is part-time broody"
Beaker decided to talk to her. He talked and talked. After a few minutes, she got up and ran outside. Hmm.. can I patent him as a broody-breaker?
