The museum buys eggs a day before they are due to hatch and puts them in an incubator display case. When the hatching time arrives, the visitors can watch as first the feet, then the rest of a tiny duckling emerges from its shell, both of its eyes closely shut as if facing the world unconsciously.
鴨子孵化期廿八天，科學博物館買來產下廿七天的蛋，放在展示箱（溫、濕度經過控制）裡，到了破「殼」而出的時刻，鴨腳先探出來，一副欲伸還縮的模樣；不久，小鴨亮相，雙眼猶自緊閉，似乎對自己來到「鴨」世，還渾無所覺。
