Bungling woman kills baby chicken by accident, youthful mother-in-law wows internet and driving test man cheats using drone
A woman in China who used a heating lamp to warm a newborn chicken ended up roasting the bird.
The woman, surnamed Yang who lives in Hangzhou in eastern Zhejiang province, said she used an incubation machine to successfully hatch a chicken in early January, according to a report by Shandian News.
Some internet users said Yang turned to a big heating lamp to give the chicken more warmth.
After turning on the light, she also put a towel over the chicken coop to ensure a high temperature inside the cage.
However, half an hour later, Yang smelled a scorched taste before finding the coop was on fire. The poor chick had been fully roasted.
Yang told the media that she felt guilty about the death of the chicken. She bought another egg and vowed to look after it after it hatched.
