Bumblebee-Size Egg Needed Help to Survive - A Chick Called Albert

[Rhiannon12866]

Giving the unlucky ones a chance sometimes requires giving it everything that I got. She was very weak, even when I totally opened her egg, she wouldn't move...

With the backing of my supporters I was able to set up a service that didn't exist yet in Holland (or maybe even anywhere in the world), a place for people to bring or sent found eggs. The Dutch website is www.eigevonden.nl (foundanegg) and during the summer months it's well found by children and adults alike, looking for a place too give an egg a chance

I actually also reserved the domain foundanegg.com, let me know if you're a hatcher interested to set up such a service yourself! - 01/02/2026.

1. I don't understand the, "lost eggs," thing

It looks like there is an address on that box.

This is a very kind and patient man.

2. I thought this was a pretty incredible story - what patience and skill he had, which paid off!

3. Those were cute little boogers!

I've had live day-old chicks shipped before, but never wanted to go the egg incubator route.

5. I agree, I thought both he and the video were pretty amazing...

6. Enthralling story

What a tale of dedication and perseverance, on both Albert's and the egg father's parts!
Very lovely.
Thank you.

7. That was INCREDIBLY MOVING!

What patience! (And I agree. That small film should be an award winner!)

8. So much patience and dedication and.. understanding chick development

What are the blue orbs?

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I sure agree. And my impression of the blue orbs was so they would be attracted to or wouldn't spill the water?

11. I became REALLY attached to that last egg!

12. Same here! And obviously so did the guy so carefully caring for it... and the chick it produced
