Gets frightened on finding the eggs hatched (8,3)
I believe the answer is:
chickens out
If this is the answer, I'm afraid I cannot explain it.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chickens out that I've seen before include "emergency at the poultry farm?" , "Behaves like a coward" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
