In an interview with Bored Panda, Betsy revealed that she contacted a local wildlife rescue organization since she didn’t have an incubator but learned they didn’t take eggs.

She thought of the next best warm place to keep it and opted for her bra, close to her chest. A quick search online proved that she had chosen the right spot as the eggs basically require warmth and humidity. She also read that she had to rotate it a few times a day.

“My boobs sweat in heat (gross I know),” Betsy said. “I carried it in my bra for 35 days and slept with it there as well. I’m a plus size girl so it just kinda fit right between my breasts.”

She said for the 35 days, the only time the egg wasn’t with her was when she showered as she handed it to her husband for a few minutes. She figured that if mother ducks left the nest every once in a while to get food, her egg would survive too.

The embryo inside the egg began to grow and Besty had to do more internet research on what to do when a duckling is hatching. She learned that it needed much more humidity and that she had to stop rotating it. Her bra wouldn’t do anymore, so she started a hatching box herself.

“At 35 days, I started hearing faint peeps which the internet said was called pipping and its beak was pushing out of the lining,” the woman said.

It wasn’t as smooth as one would think because A day after putting the duck egg in the hatching box, she noticed that something was wrong and called a vet.

It turned out that the duckling inside was being” shrink-wrapped in the membrane” and she had to peel away the shell and make sure the bird’s beak was where it could breathe.

The little duck eventually got out of the egg, but it was still attached to the yolk on the bottom, which, she was told, was because he had hatched a bit early. She later learned on Reddit that it was either because the incubation temperature was too low, or because the temperature wasn’t stable.

“I got a wet paper towel and wrapped it around the shell with the yolk and put Neosporin on it so it wouldn’t get infected. Maybe not the best idea but I was scared,” Betsy said.

Even after the duckling absorbed the yolk, it was too weak to stand, or even move, for a couple of days, but its human mom didn’t give up on it, keeping an eye on it and giving it water from time to time. He (it turned out to be a male) eventually built up the strength to walk and Betsy built him a special carrier and took him everywhere with her.

When the duckling was old enough, Betsy called one of her connections at the animal rescue and found him a home at a nearby farm where a young girl couldn’t wait to meet him.

“He is doing well and has a new human girl who loves him,” Betsy said.

You're right, if it was a Nigerian guy they would be thinking of how to use the duck for money ritual or how to defraud people online with their pity story of how they're trying to hatch a duck egg, any way when will they have the time to care for an animal when they are busy butchering themselves all in the name of cultism.

Some things will never be understood in it entirety. The system failure not to have what the egg needed was not her excuse, she went round the norm and everything else is history.

Ingenious idea! Superbly executed.

Should I believe this story or not

So Amazing!
If na Naija, dem for don use am for do Sunday stew...

The heat from her breast can even fry the egg.
Luckily, the duck came out alive.
Lord be praised.

What a nightmare it must have had in that sweaty oven.

You see the care and attention she gave to a duck? That shows she is in a country where people place value on lives. Any and all lives matter.

Meanwhile, Buhari no even send his sai baba boys. They are like useless eggshells to him. He matches and sweep them away.

I see this making fp

Animals are food. They are proteinous. Yes, you are right, I will boil it and cook it with two cups of local rice not 1 and half cup. Thank you.
