Lincoln Park zoo has first flamingo eggs in 50 years

Officials at Lincoln Park Zoo are reporting the first laying of flamingo eggs in at least five decades at the Chicago facility.

Ten eggs have been laid by the zoo's Chilean flamingos. Zoo officials say the eggs should start to hatch in about two weeks.

But the zoo's general curator says she's not counting the flamingos until they're hatched.

Zoo officials say records show the facility hasn't had flamingo eggs since at least the 1950s.

They say the eggs could be the result of adding new vegetation at the zoo, which flamingos seem to prefer. The zoo currently has 48 flamingos
