Pairi Daiza Hooded crane

The male has, unfortunately, been killed by a fox. There's other (amazing) news from Parc Paradisio, but that's Forumbully's territory... I'll tell if he doesn't turn up soon though :)
 
OMG! This is truly a historical moment, wonderful news, i thought the eggs were infertile?
is the chick being parent or hand raised?

Guess Marc just couldn't wait huh :p

The eggs were quite a few days overdue the (what is mentioned in the books as being) incubation time and candling did not show a conclusive evidence of an embryo. However, Paradisio decided to keep them in the incubator for just a few more days to see what happened and fortunately they did, because one of them did hatch.

Chick will be hand raised.
