Anyone up for a Hatchalong?

I am ready for egg # 2, Raptor........

I don't think that hatch could have gone any better, disinfected the navel, no bleeding at all. 25 hours since the pip, day 49 for the hatch.

Congrats Raptor65 !!

I do not think my eggs are going to hatch. Out of 10 eggs I have 5 left but none are wiggling. One was suppose to hatch yesterday the 8th but nothing. None of the remaining five has any odor to them. I had a problem with my temps. I noticed during the days I was off from work, the temp dropped from 97.5 to 95.8 then would go back up at night. I ordered a new retipro 6000 and more eggs LOL! I plugged the new incubator in and doing my adjustments while the new eggs "rest." I have 4 eggs that arrived today and have 4 more on the way. I am undecided if I will get another 2 or 4 more for a total of 10 - 12 eggs. I am still going to leave the other eggs in the old incubator for a few days longer - just in case I still gotta have some HOPE!

Most of those that are hatching these eggs keep them & have from what I've seen great fascilities. The few without the intention of keeping them once they hatch (myself included) already have homes waiting for them. That's a very prejudice thing to say since you have no idea what kind of people we are or what our plans are for the emu chicks once they hatch, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all...

Poor birds? In my opinion, poor you...you have no facts to base your statement on & your comparing people who hatch bird eggs to Paris Hilton. That's a terrible analogy & very inaccurate. I don't think any of the chicks being hatched on this thread are in any danger of suffering like you claim, everyone I've met on here appear to be very nice people & that's how you should treat them, by what little you know of them on here & basing your opinion on that. I know what you're saying in that some people hatch eggs (any species) without thinking it through. Then they have chicks they cant keep & need rehomed but I don't think that's the case on this thread. Emu eggs are more expensive, harder to get, need larger/expensive incubators & require stricter incubation requirements than your average poultry eggs. Someone that goes through all the trouble to succesfully hatch an emu egg usually is wise enough to think ahead & figure out what they're going to do with an Emu...also I think you're wrong about all the unwanted emus, I don't think it's very hard to sell them & if someone did have trouble then they could certainly give them to a good home for free. You should think before you just post something that is inaccurate, rude, disrespectful & naive

Don't give up hope yet! You said your temps dropped several degrees a lot so that means they could be days behind schedule, yinepu said someone she talked to had them hatch in day 60 do if there's no odor then why not let them stay in longer? You'll have to tell me how you like your Reptipro 6000, I plan on ordering one soon & would love your opinion. Hopefully with all the eggs you're ordering you'll get some chicks out of it, if I have any eggs shipped I'm going to do what yinepu did & that's have your eggs sent in as many shipments as possible to increase your chances of getting unscrambled eggs. I've had eggs come from the exact same seller 4 days apart, one shipment had a 100% hatch rate while the other had all 100% scrambled so evdn if they come from the same breeder, ask them to ship them in as many shipments as possible
