An unlikely cross-species friendship

[oneh2obabe]

William Atkins, 14, lives in England's West Midlands. His family had discussed whether it's possible for ducklings to grow in commercial eggs under the right conditions, and he wanted to test it out for himself.

He tried again with half a dozen duck eggs and hens' eggs, placing them under the warmth of the incubator in his bedroom. Three days later he shone a torch over the eggs and was astounded to see a beating heart within the shell of one of the duck eggs.

William watched with fascination over the next three weeks as a new life developed inside the egg. Eventually the egg began to rock, and 28 days after he began the experiment a duckling pecked its way out.
