A women from Port Talbot in Wales, United Kingdom has been left stunned when she managed to hatch a duckling from an egg bought at a supermarket.
After seeing a TikTok of someone hatching a duck egg bought from the supermarket, Adele Phillips, 28, decided to go to went to the nearest store and got her own box of duck eggs.
First, she put the egg in an airing cupboard for a few days then she transferred them to an incubator she’d bought online.
Surprisingly, after 48 hours, one of the six eggs was fertile, and therefore her journey to hatch the duckling started.
She said: “During the whole process everyone was looking at me, thinking ‘are you insane?’
“I was just giving it a go as a little experiment, but they all thought I would just end up with a boiled egg.
“Well I definitely proved them wrong and everyone was very shocked.
“I am amazed and it really hit me when I saw come out of its shell. I thought ‘what have I done? It is just mad. My pet could easily have been on someone’s toast.”
Adele said she would resist the urge to hatch more in the future and would instead buy a garden pond with a small enclosure to house him in.
