A nine-year-old boy has hatched a chick from a box of free-range eggs which his mother bought in a Suffolk supermarket.
The chick, named Celia, hatched three weeks after Miles Orford, of Great Ashfield, placed six free-range Cotswold Legbar eggs in an incubator.
His mother, Sarah Orford, said: "We've tried the same experiment with quail and duck eggs.
"None of the quail eggs hatched. We're still waiting to see what happens with the duck eggs."
Glenn Goodlove said he was likely smooching with a girl in the expansive back seat of a 1946 Hudson when his wallet slipped from his pants pocket more than five decades ago. The year was 1952.
