Texas company hatches live chicks from artificial eggs in breakthrough that could revive the dodo: report

A Texas-based company has successfully hatched live chicks from artificial eggs for the first time, a breakthrough researchers believe could eventually help revive extinct birds like the dodo and giant moa.

Colossal Biosciences created a reusable titanium egg lined with a bioengineered membrane that mimics the oxygen transfer of a natural shell. Using the devices, scientists successfully hatched 26 healthy chickens while closely monitoring development from embryo to birth, according to The New York Post.
