this is my first time incubating emu eggs. i have don pheasant and chicken and duck eggs. i have a gqf 1270 with auto turner and i have my trays set up for emu eggs and i also have have the temp at 97.5 and humidity at 30% i was wondering do i need to turn them by hand as well? the guy i got the incubator from incubated emu eggs and gave me information on it. he also told me to that i need to turn them by hand. is there other things i need to watch? i have chicken, the duck and pheasant egg hatch figured out and get about 85-90% hatches. just would like to know more about the emu eggs and make shore i do it right.
