🐣πŸ₯š A #biotech company hatched 26 #chicks using a #3D-printed artificial eggshell, aiming to eventually birth #birds resembling the extinct #moa.

But independent scientists note the #tech lacks key natural egg components – and genetically modifying a #bird isn’t the same as reviving a lost species.

Pasty butt check! The last one checked was the only one. Cleaned up, lubed, and good to go!

The final chick count is 14! 7 sorta black ones and 7 brown/blonde ones. Each basic color has some variations like brown faces on the black ones and/or gray blush. Some of the brown ones are darker and others have that gray blush to them.
