The chicken embryo has long been used as a developmental vertebrate model for its adaptability to manipulation in experimental studies. The chick embryo develops outside the mother in a self-sufficient egg, is easy to manipulate, and is amenable to transplantation, explantation, and micro-dissection techniques and widely used for the cultivation of viruses in labs.
