a woman hatched an egg instead of eating it and now they're best friends you know how most eggs you eat are unfertilized so they don't contain a baby bird balut which is a delicacy in some countries is a bird embryo that you boil and eat from a shell but one woman instead of eating her balut got a surprise because when a restaurant egg hatches a live duck you may not get the meal you want but at least you'll have a new best friend have you ever heard of balut it's a traditional meal from the philippines that involves eating a partially developed duck fetus to make the meal restaurants need to stock lots of fertilized eggs and this is where our story starts on a whim erika lim decided to purchase a pair of uncooked balut eggs from a restaurant in puchong in malaysia she took them home created a makeshift incubator and grew her own pets before long it seemed that lim's plan was working a tiny little beak began poking out of one of the eggs daisy the duck pushed her way further out of her shell sadly her sibling didn't survive the difficult hatching process daisy was very small and weak by the time she squeezed her way out of her shell but she was healthy and happy and lim had a new friend daisy and lim were inseparable from the start lim soon gave her duckling the cute nickname bibbit daisy bibbitt was happy going wherever her owner went lim sneaked the duck into the movie theater so they could watch something together daisy was very happy and patient throughout the whole experience of course daisy is a duck and that means she loves water so lim makes sure to give her lots of baths but it's not uncommon for the little duckling to sneak off to the bathroom for playtime when she's not being watched this can make a lot of mess but she can hardly be blamed for her instincts having a tiny duckling follow you everywhere might seem like an annoying experience but the pair get on really well and daisy is happy to go anywhere as long as she's with her best friend it's not uncommon for daisy to simply sit with her owner and watch netflix just like any modern pet daisy is even happy inside a car watching the world rush past her window let's just hope lim doesn't need to break suddenly before long daisy scraggly pre-hatching fuzz gained a lustrous color and volume there's no denying that she's a very gorgeous little duckling lynn began sharing her photos of daisy with the world never before has the hashtag duckface hashtag been used so accurately daisy has explored every inch of the apartment that she calls home there's plenty of excitement to be had in this small space and she has a great time living as an urban duck of course lim has to live a normal life and that means working for a living but daisy is a patient pet and is content to join her owner at the desk for hours at a time lim had a lot of fun with her baby duck she dressed up daisy in tiny little outfits for photo shoots such as this fetching knitted skirt even while exploring the outside world daisy loves to try new things of course liv needs to keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't get into too much trouble over time daisy grew bigger her neck got longer white feathers grew from her fuzzy yellow down slowly she grew into an adult duck even as a grown duck daisy still loves cuddles and snuggles with her human family and she still has loads of adventures with them taking an adult duck on outside excursions is a lot more challenging than concealing a small duckling but if you stroll into ikea with enough confidence you'd be surprised how easy it is to get people to overlook a feathered companion lim and daisy are still inseparable going on regular trips to the store to buy groceries but there's one supermarket item that lim doesn't need to buy anymore as daisy is an adult now she does everything that adult foul do this includes providing her owner with some delicious treats on a daily basis yes daisy lays a steady supply of eggs these unfertilized eggs won't grow into baby ducks which means limb doesn't feel guilty about putting them to good use daisy is a full-fledged member of her household she almost didn't get to live at all but thanks to lim's unusual experiment this duck has a long life to look forward to daisy's upbringing wasn't a typical duck's experience but it was probably a lot better than being eaten this story just goes to show the sacred special importance of every animal's life
