well, because i am an idiot i found a kinda bug? LOL. when the tutorial tells you to put the chicken in the nest before it lays an egg, me, being a fool, put the chicken in the box with a light on the right.
the chicken laid the egg and it obviously broke, but the mouse's textbox telling me so is in the way of the chicken, so i can't grab it anymore and i'm stuck. (◞‸ლ)
