A couple of collared teas in the Děčín Zoo lost part of their clutch in the spring due to predators. “We put the other three eggs in the hatchery. She spent about 45 days there, after which one chick hatched, “describes zoologist Roman Řehák.
–
During the incubation, the eggs of ordinary hens were added to the hatchery, and at a daily interval both small tea and chickens hatched.

According to the zoo, artificial breeding of collared tea without parents is not easy at all. Chickens learn everything by repeating what their parents do. “I got the idea to put a few chickens in the kennel. They can bite right after hatching and the tea could see it, “said the zoologist.

The nurses began to prepare the young for the feed mixture, which contained ingredients important for both chicken hens and tea. Very quickly, both species began to live in symbiosis.
–
In order for the tea to have enough vitamin D and not complicate its development or possible rickets, breeders began to regularly take it to the sun. One of her grown-up faucets kept her company.

“In the end, he clung to her in such a way that it is beautiful to see how he takes care of her and offers her food while raking,” Řehák added.
