However, the hatching process is intervened only when necessary, for example, when the chicks take too much time to hatch or are malpositioned in the egg. It usually takes three days from the time the chick breaks the internal membrane until it escapes from the shell. Once it hatches, human keepers clean and feed the chick for the first few days.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2457e98\" data-id=\"2457e98\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b1d553 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1b1d553\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"928\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-1-928x521-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3641\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-1-928x521-1.png 928w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-1-928x521-1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-1-928x521-1-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 CERM\n<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-218027d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"218027d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a8ca7f0\" data-id=\"a8ca7f0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52873bb elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"52873bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-08d3bf0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"08d3bf0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ff9cd8c\" data-id=\"ff9cd8c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6002d72 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6002d72\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ADOPTION AND REARING<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d39de29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d39de29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Human keepers move the chicks into the nest within 5 days of hatching when an Egyptian Vulture pair or a single male are available to adopt the little one.

The species is considered Critically Endangered in the county, and our partners at CERM Association started releasing Egyptian Vultures bred in their centre since 2003 to boost the local population, while testing different release techniques: fostering (2003), which was negatively assessed and thus abandoned, hacking (2004-2020) and delayed-release (2017, 2019-2020). Today more captive-bred Egyptian Vultures are released into the wild by CERM and ISPRA within the LIFE Egyptian Vulture project in an aim to boost the local population of the species. Ahead of the release, the vultures are equipped with GPS tags to monitor their movements, with some of the tags being provided by the
