Kloeke artist breeds eggs

paris - The French artist Abraham Poincheval succeeded in breeding chicken eggs in a museum in Paris after three weeks. Earlier, he had looked after spending a week in a sarcophagus last year and spending two weeks in a raised bear in 2014.

Poincheval started his newest mop mackerel at the end of March. He wanted to breed ten eggs with his own body heat in a glass of 'vivarium' in the Museum of Contemporary Art Palais de Tokyo.

At that moment he estimated that it would take 21 to 26 days for the eggs to come out. The first chick got crawled last Tuesday. A spokesman for the museum said Thursday that nine eggs have now emerged and that the chicks are on their way to a farm.

For the project, Poincheval was packed on a chair in an insulating blanket with a box containing the eggs below. He left his chair for a maximum of thirty minutes a day to eat something.
