The Problem
According to the journal of Biological Conservation, the Bird Life International organization, and their eight-year study from 2010 to 2018, deforestation has globally killed off a total of eight species of birds (Gibbens, 2018). Because of this, reintroducing as many endangered birds back into the wild becomes one of the many goals of sustaining the environment.
The Solution
For this experiment, two groups of chicken eggs were incubated for three days, transferred into plastic wrap vessels, and placed back into the incubator until they hatch. The goal was to make the development of the chicken embryo visible, without harming it. This experiment allows other researchers to witness the development of a chicken embryo through a direct observation, something that doesn’t have same impact as looking at a chicken egg through the candling method or an x-ray.
