Man Incubates a Duckling Egg Using His Own Body

A hand holds a white object, possibly a ball, near a yellow perforated object.

Alwyn Wils is an animal lover and has around 30 years of experience in raising and hatching ducklings. Now, this time he decides to hatch an egg with the warmth of his body. So, he created the world's first wearable incubator.

This helped him keep the egg undisturbed with him 24x7, and on the 29th day, a young duckling was born. Alwyn named him Wiggle. As he was the one to incubate him, Wiggle seemed to be very attached to Alwyn.

Wiggle never wanted to leave him. Finally, however, Wiggle made a new friend. Alwyn called the peafowl, India. Both Wiggle and India grew up together and still are very close to each other.

India was very naughty when she was young. She would not drink enough water to swallow her food. This made Alwyn very concerned as she might choke on the food. His concern was right as one day he found India gasping for air.

When he opens India's beak to see the condition, he finds the food stuck in the mouth. Bit by bit Alwyn takes out the food which is stuck in India's mouth. Finally, she could swallow the food.

However, as soon as she was okay, she started to eat again. Both Wriggle and India couldn't stay without Alwyn. So, they tag along with Alwyn to his brother's house to meet his nephew.

Both Wriggle and India love to take a bath, and they enjoy their swim time in the kitchen sink with Alwyn. While they sleep, they like to cuddle with Alwyn and are comfortable sleeping beside him.
