Woman ends up with new pet after putting duck eggs in incubator

A woman bought a box of duck eggs from Waitrose was stunned when she popped them into an incubator as an experiment - and a little duckling HATCHED OUT.

Lauren Barton, 26, popped down to her local Waitrose last month and picked up the six-pack of Clarence Court Braddock Whites Free Range Duck Eggs, for £2.59.

But English teacher Lauren popped half of the eggs into an incubator she had bought off Amazon to see if she could hatch a duckling.

And to Lauren's delight, 28 days later, one of the eggs in the incubator started to show cracks - and after an "intense" 48 hours of hatching, a tiny little duckling popped out.
