Originally rejected for minor cracks or expired dates, the eggs were left in a compost section of the landfill. But hidden beneath layers of organic matter, the conditions mimicked a hatchery: warmth from decomposing waste, stable humidity, and protection from predators.<\/p>\n<p>Sanitation workers discovered the surprise one morning when they noticed movement in the compost heap\u2014hundreds of live chicks scurrying about. Experts later confirmed that some of the eggs had been fertilized and incubated naturally within the landfill\u2019s heat, reaching the necessary 99\u00b0F temperature for hatching.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1766800\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11043\" src=\"https:\/\/mstka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-30-300x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mstka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-30-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mstka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-30-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mstka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-30-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/mstka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-30-500x502.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mstka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-30.jpg 526w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The chicks were rescued, examined, and quickly adopted by local farms, schools, and sanctuaries.
