A man who incubated a box of twelve supermarket quail eggs in the hope one would hatch was stunned when one did!

Albert the quail was bought at a supermarket in Haarlem, Netherlands. After bringing it home, Alwyn placed all the eggs in an incubator and began filming their progress, hoping one was fertilised and would hatch. And to his amazement, less than a month later, one of the eggs hatched.

Alwyn was inspired to buy the box and incubate the eggs after reading online that it is nearly impossible for store-bought eggs to hatch - due to their lack of fertilisation. Alwyn said, “Albert is one in a million”.
