A schoolgirl has hatched two chicks from a box of Quail Eggs she bought from her local supermarket.

Zara, 13, incubated the Sainsbury's Eggs in her pet tortoise's tank for three weeks, turning them four times A Day .

They eventually hatched with Pebbles born on Friday and Speckles The Next day.

Her mother Claire Sutcliffe said: " We didn't believe it would happen. It's amazing. "

Zara, of Altrincham in Greater Manchester , said: " I did a lot of research straight away when I got the Eggs . "

The teenager had been begging her parents for more pets to go with The Family 's dog, three cats, two red-footed tortoises and a mantis.

She spotted The Box of £4 Clarence Court " Free to Fly" Quail Eggs - That she had read could be hatched - during a supermarket shop.

She then diligently checked on them with a torch as well as carefully turning them as they gained weight.

Mrs Sutcliffe, 48, who works as a pet carer, said: " It's all down to Zara. She's such an animal lover.

" She had been talking about it for months and we didn't believe it would happen. For two of the Eggs to hatch is quite something. "

However, the egg-hatching joy has been tempered with some sadness, as Speckles has since fallen ill.

" Zara is very upset and has been up caring for Speckles, " Mrs Sutcliffe said.

" She only got four hours sleep Last Night and has had to go to school This Morning .

" The poor chick is not very well at all. I'm going to take Speckles to the vets but we're not too hopeful. "
