Weighing chick

Each newly hatched Potchesfroom Koekoek chick is weighed before being sold. The birds are tagged to keep track of their performance, including weight and number of eggs they lay. This allows researchers to collect data for each individual bird throughout its life. A hatching process was organized by the Ethiopian Institute for Agricultural Research at the Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Centre in April 2016. (photo credit: Hannah Rollings)
