What do you mean you hatched an egg you bought at the SUPER MARKET
Ohohoho
So thereās this company in the UK, right. They brand themselves on producing fancy free range eggs and as part of that they have breed information written on the carton.
I did some snooping and found that every miracle news story of a supermarket egg hatching in the UK traced back to duck eggs, specifically the Braddock White duck eggs produced by this one company for the supermarket Waitrose.
And one day my mum brings them home and says āI bought these to eat but arenāt they the ones that hatch?ā
And itās spring and Iām hatching a ton this year so in they went.
On candling we had three fertile eggs! Thatās a fertility of 50% - the same as shipped eggs from a breeder!
Hatch day comes and we get 2 ducklings, Curie and Becquerel. Sadly, Curie contracts duck septicaemia from an infected navel and doesnāt make it, but Becquerel is a healthy bird and growing like a weed.
I had put 4 breeder eggs in a week after them in case just one hatched, so Becque now has two Khaki Campbell cross friends called Tsuki and Hoshi so she isnāt lonely.
And as of todayās 7am Quacking - Becque is a female! Which means sheās capable of laying eggs and therefore I have pirated a duck.
āaverage person eats 3 spiders a yearā factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Somewhere, there are orcas. Iām in my little gray house in Ohio surrounded by the stale, staticky air of winter indoors, but somewhere there are orcas. Itās an easy fact to forget. Itās easy to shrink your world to what you can see. But thankfully, somewhere, there are orcas.
