Zara Sutcliffe had been begging her parents for more pets to add to the family's collection, which include two tortoises and a mantis.
The 13-year-old had been asking her mum, Claire, for months whether she could buy a box of Clarence Court 'Free to Fly' quail eggs, that she had read could be hatched.
Back in August, the Altrincham teen spotted the brand during the family's weekly shop and her mum let her buy them.
Zara ensured she did lots of research ahead of purchasing the eggs, which included advice on how to turn them four times a day to stop the yolk settling and hatching.
At first, Claire warned her daughter that it might not turn out as she hoped, and they may not hatch.
But Zara remained confident, using an incubator, weighing the eggs regularly and checking them with a torch.
