Supermarket eggs hatch a fluffy surprise in home kitchen
Published on: Sun, Jul 20, 2025 Text Size: Some of the hatched eggs. QINGDAO: A woman here recently got the surprise of her life when she returned from a two-day trip to find 70 fluffy chicks chirping around her kitchen, Arab Times reported. The uninvited guests were not bought from a farm, but hatched from 90 supermarket eggs she had left in cartons before leaving.
Advertisement She suspected the unusually high summer temperatures in Qingdao triggered the early hatching. Most grocery store eggs are infertile, making such an occurrence highly unusual. Rather than panic, she and her family sprang into action, creating a makeshift shelter out of old sweaters and feeding the chicks warm rice broth using syringes. Against all odds, every single chick survived, proving that even grocery store eggs can occasionally pull off a miracle. Her son quickly claimed two chicks as new household companions, while the rest were sent to live with her parents in the countryside. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
