TIC Tac has been since the start of quarantine by the coronavirus one of the most used content platforms in the world. Today billions of users are venturing to create funny videos, invent challenges or give lectures on certain topics.

One of the trends of the last few weeks was a curious challenge which would consist of give life and raise a duck with the typical eggs found in a supermarket. A woman from Wales, UK, amazed by what she saw in the popular app’s footage, decided to put this experience to the test and see if it was true or not.

Adele Philips, the TikTok user who joined the challenge, went to the store closest to her and purchased half a dozen duck eggs, then, acquired an incubator via Amazon.

As reported on the news portal “Bored Panda”, he followed the procedure indicated by the videos of the juvenile application: he put the six eggs in the incubator, raised the temperature to 37.5 degrees and he waited “ten days to see if they were fertile or not”, which can be discovered by lighting a flashlight on them.

The vast majority of store-bought eggs are unfertilized, but this can sometimes happen when a male enters a flock of commercial laying birds, he explained.

“If you see veins on day 10 of incubation, you have a fertile egg. And to my surprise, there was one among the six! “, said Philips. But that was only the start of a long process.

His task was to care for and maintain the fertile egg, which he had to turn 3-4 times a day, spray it with water and bring it to room temperature. Then I would put it back in the incubator for hours before repeating the process. Finally, the 27, the chick began to peck the shell of the egg, and 48 hours later, he left.

“‘I came home from work and the duck had just come out of the shell looking at me'”

“Welcome to the world of Braddock Morris, the duck from an egg-free Morrisons duck farm. Well worth the 30 days of anxiety. Everything is safe here. What an experience, I can’t believe we really did it !! “

The English user recounted that although his first intention was to give to the duck, after so much effort and work, and the tenderness that the duck caused him, decided to keep it and name it “Morris”. He also noted that introduced him to a friend so that you are not alone at home.

“Many people in a group that I joined on Facebook told me that he needed a friend or that he would feel very sad and lonely, so since I work all day, I bought him a duck in a pet store that sells poultry. His name is Beryl and now they’re best friends“, He said “The Independent”.

He also said that they are in a box with a heat lamp that he improvised so that they can live comfortably. “Every time Morris sees my face he gets very emotional and starts blinking really hard. Then when I take it out it climbs on top of me and starts pecking at my face. “, he expressed.
