Thank you.

Emu 2 is free and drying off in the incubator. Soooo happy. I gave one of the emus as a gift to my roommate, so we'll be raising them together. They're so beautiful and intelligent looking.

Egg number 2 has just cracked open! Wow! This is so wonderful. My first time ever hatching eggs. I have no idea how long it takes them to come out fully, but I see his little beak peeking through and he's sure taking his time.

Thank you! Still waiting on egg number 2. I can hear him moving around in the egg. I've stayed up all night checking on the egg because I was so worried that his big brother would knock him around and confuse him and he would be too disorientated to make it out. How long do you normally leave...

Thanks. I'll update if anything changes.

They were shipped eggs and I was worried about them from the start. I started to get hopeful though when I was on target with my weight loss every week. If there's proper weight loss I assumed the eggs must be developing correctly. I really really hope these guys make it. It's my last chance to...

The incubator is at 96.5. I've tapped on the eggs, the counter and whistled at them and I don't hear anything. I even listened with a stethoscope and couldn't hear anything.

Ugh, my emu eggs aren't chirping or wiggling, but are still losing the correct amount of weight every day. What gives? I am incubating at a slightly low temp., so they may take longer than 51 days, but I would have expected something by now. What I'm really wondering is if I should stop turning...
