"Companies in the US are developing the technology needed to “clone” chickens on a massive scale.Normal cloning does not work in birds because eggs cannot be removed and implanted. Instead, the company is trying to bulk-grow embryonic stem cells taken from fertilised eggs as soon as they’re laid.Another challenge is to scale up production. To do this, Origen has teamed up with Embrex, which produces machines that can inject vaccines into up to 50,000 eggs an hour."
