A Male Bald Eagle That Was Trying To Hatch A Rock Has Been Given A Chick To Raise (Pics & Video)

Last week, an eagle nest containing two chicks near Ste. Genevieve, Missouri was blown down by very high winds. One chick perished in the fall, but the other was found and rescued by a faithful nest watcher who brought the chick to World Bird Sanctuary's Wildlife Hospital. The staff decided to give Murphy a chance at fostering a real baby. However, at 31 years old, Murphy had never raised a chick before. It was definitely a gamble, but also the chick's best chance at survival. BabyRock was removed, and the chick was introduced to his enclosure.
