Chicks that hatch late tend to be sickly or weak. When it’s in a nest box, equipment hidden inside measures turn rate, temperature, and how often the egg is moved.If eggs in your incubator haven’t hatched after 23 days, you should stop incubating them. The period between incubating real eggs is where the data-collecting ‘smart egg’ comes in. To increase the number of chicks, staff occasionally move the first-laid egg of one pair to an incubator, a process called double-clutching. “Knowing the precise conditions for rearing healthy chicks could be very useful to condor recovery efforts.”Ĭondor chicks hatched at the center are eventually sent to release sites in the wild, boosting the critically endangered species population. “We’ve never been able to get this type of information from inside of a California condor nest before,” said Kelli Walker, the Zoo’s senior condor keeper. Created by a 3D printer in a laboratory at Texas A&M University, the electronic replica egg records sound, temperature, movement, and other data critical to rearing new generations of endangered California condor chicks. The newest egg at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, Ore., gathers data to improve the survival of endangered chicks.
