Bumblebee-Size Egg Needed Help to Survive - A Chick Called Albert [View all]

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.
