Nowadays, it seems people are getting more creative with their pet choices than ever before. Gone are the days of just having a dog or cat. Now, people have all sorts of animals ranging from pigs to ferrets to raccoons. One woman in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia made an impulse purchase that led to her hatching her very own pet and best friend, a duck named Daisy.
According to Bored Panda, the woman, 39-year-old Erica Lim, went to a Vietnamese restaurant in Puchong. The restaurant sold pre-cooked fertilized eggs for people to use when making Balut. Balut is a controversial Southeast Asian snack that involves taking a developing bird embryo and boiling it before eating it from the shell.
Erica purchased one of the eggs on a whim and decided to incubate it in her own home rather than eating it. She built her own incubator and hoped for the best. Two weeks later, a little duckling hatched. Erica named her new pet duck Daisy.
