Woman Hatches Duckling After Finding Cracked Egg And Incubating It In Her Cleavage For 35 Days

During such an emotional and uncertain time as this, it's important to savor what's good and right in this world.

Who knew that the story of a woman saving a duckling egg by storing it in her bra for a month as an incubator would be exactly what we needed right now.


The woman, Reddit user "junebug878787," shared her very sweet story on the "Aww" sub-Reddit and people were loving it.

Along with a series of photos, including the cracked egg, with a shell so thin you could see the fetus, JuneBug gave us a quick rundown of the situation:

"Saved a cracked egg! Carried it in my bra for 35 days. It was born prematurely he was still attached to the yolk and it was not absorbed so I got a wet paper towel and applied antibiotic on its cord and tummy twice a day. Surprised he didn't die."

Reddit was, of course, overwhelmed with the cuteness and this woman's ability to save a life.

"This is....almost wtf material. You kept an egg in your bra for 35 days straight? Holy." - mcmur
"That is amazing, you're an angel." - Marco7746
"Your a momma duck now" - Blackbeard97
"You're a hero for saving him." - UStoJapan
"The sheer f**king commitment this took. I applaud you" - darkpmc
"This is seriously next level Disney Princess." - Bellamudgeon
"This is so wholesome. The world needs people like you!" - grv7437

But how did it work exactly? Inquiring minds...

"I did use a sports bra and I'm a chubby girl so it worked I even slept with it when it started peeling from inside the egg is when I rigged a lamp and plastic container with a 1 gallon baggie on it so I can keep replacing water because they said they needed humidity to hatch." - junebug878787

She also brought to the thread's attention that this little duck was the only survivor.

The woman explained in a comment:

"Some kids smashed all the duck nests at our park this was the only egg saveable." - junebug878787

She was asked if the duckling imprinted on her. Spoiler: yeah he did.

"He followed me around and when I left the house he would scream driving my husband crazy I eventually made a carrier and took him with me when I went places" - junebug878787

And of course, Reddit wanted to know if she named him.

To this, she replied:

"His name is thawn. Someone from the flash my kids named him but he went to a wonderful farm nearby. This is the craziest thing I've done with a rescue and I've bottle fed everything from kittens to skunks." - junebug878787

And she also found Thawn a very good home.

"I found him a great farm near me so I can visit. I would have kept him if I wasn't in a small place because they need other ducks to be around. I get to see him often." - junebug878787

As if it weren't heartwarming enough that JuneBug saved the little duck's life, he even gets to chill at a farm with other ducks where momma can come visit?

Like I said: just what we needed today.
