Man Hatches Quail Egg From Grocery Store and Names the Chick Albert
From Viral Viral Videos:
Ever wonder what would happen if you took a egg from the grocery store and put it in an incubator? This guy did just that with the quail eggs he got from the store. What happened? He made a new, adorable friend he named Albert.

I thought grocery store eggs were unfertilized and couldn't be hatched, but maybe it's different with quail eggs or in the country this person is from.

My problem with this is... doesn't cold (ie refrigeration) stunt the chances for hatching, if not outright kill the embryo?
Pardon me while I shudder.

CHICKEN eggs are unfertilized. Apparently quail eggs are not. The domestic chicken has been bred to squeeze out eggs whether or not she's been doinked, but other birds aren't domesticated to the same degree.
It's also possible it's bullshit for attention. I'm kind of leaning toward that.
