A biotech company hatched baby chickens using an artificial egg system. Scientists have different opinions about this new development.

Twenty-six chicks were born from a 3D printed shell structure. Colossal also made mice like mammoths and wolf pups like dire wolves.

The company wants to use this technology for large extinct birds. This includes the giant moa, which had very big eggs.

Bringing back a moa needs much more research and bigger eggs. Some worry if revived animals can live in today's world.
