Would it at all be possible for eagles to raise a chick in captivity?

Sure. The San Francisco Zoo did that for many years to provide 8 week old eaglets for our restoration projects.

The American Eagle Foundation raises captive chicks also. The AEF is the home of Challenger, the captive flying bald eagle.

Well I had no idea! I guess I thought the eagles that went to the Channel Islands from SF were rehabbed or something. Thank you!
