One small step for eggs and one giant leap for chickens.
The Beijing Daily reported the three chickens hatched from a batch of eggs, which orbited the Earth 108 times aboard China's third unmanned spaceship "Shenzhou III."
According to state media, China plans to have manned space flights by 2005.
If successful, they will join the United States and former Soviet Union as the only countries to put a person into space.
