Scientists hatch live chicks from an artificial egg in huge breakthrough

Scientists have managed to hatch live chicks from a fully artificial egg – marking a de–extinction breakthrough that paves the way for resurrecting long–dead species.Experts at Colossal Biosciences, the company planning to bring back the woolly mammoth , have created the first ever shell–less incubation system that mirrors a natural egg 'as much as possible'.The team were able to take early bird embryos, place them into an artificial shell and incubate them for 18 days while they developed.Once the chicks were ready, they hatched from their cosy home and are now living happy, healthy lives.
