Betsy Ross from California is being praised by many for hatching a
cracked duck egg she found in the park by carrying it in her bra for
over a month, 35 days.
Betsy Ross was walking in the public park when she came across a smashed
up duck nests, and was begged by her kids to save a lucky egg which had
only a small crack.
She had never hatched an egg before, and she didn’t think she could save
it, but the children were already upset because of the nests, so she
said yes.
In an interview with Bored Panda, Betsy Ross revealed that she contacted
a local wildlife rescue organization since she didn’t have an incubator
but learned they didn’t take eggs.
She thought of the next best warm place to keep it and opted for her
bra, close to her chest. A quick search online proved that she had
chosen the right spot as the eggs basically require warmth and humidity.
She also read that she had to rotate it a few times a day.
She said for the 35 days, the only time the egg wasn’t with her was when
she showered as she handed it to her husband for a few minutes. She
figured that if mother ducks left the nest every once in a while to get
food, her egg would survive too.
The embryo inside the egg began to grow and Besty had to do more
research on what to do when a duckling is hatching. She learned that it
needed much more humidity and that she had to stop rotating it. Her bra
wouldn’t do anymore, so she started a hatching box herself.
It wasn’t as smooth as one would think because a day after putting the
duck egg in the hatching box, she noticed that something was wrong and
called a vet.
It turned out that the duckling inside was being” shrink-wrapped in the membrane” and she had to peel away the shell and make sure the bird’s beak was where it could breathe.
The little duck eventually got out of the egg, but it was still attached
to the yolk on the bottom, which, she was told, was because he had
hatched a bit early. She later learned on Reddit that it was either
because the incubation temperature was too low, or because the
temperature wasn’t stable.
Even after the duckling absorbed the yolk, it was too weak to stand, or
even move, for a couple of days, but its human mom didn’t give up on it,
keeping an eye on it and giving it water from time to time. He (it
turned out to be a male) eventually built up the strength to walk and
Betsy built him a special carrier and took him everywhere with her.
