Couple hatch out two chicks from £3 pack of quails eggs from M&S

A young couple who bought a £3 pack of M&S quails eggs were stunned when they popped them into an incubator as an experiment - and two chicks hatched out.

Darren Maynard, 28, bought the 12-pack of eggs from his local M&S store in St Albans, Herts., as part of a food shop at the beginning of February.

But he decided against using them to whip up an omelette and placed the 12 British quails eggs into an incubator he has at home, to see if any of them would hatch.
