I am going to buy around five emu eggs and have found a lot of information on raising adult birds but little on raising baby birds. I have a few questions about broody and hatching and probably will have more to come as this adventure continues. Any response is greatly appreciated.
1).What do you feed baby emus? (And what about protein percentage for babies?)
2).Is it ok if my incubator is at 97F-98F where the top of the egg would be and then a couple degrees or maybe just a degree cooler at the bottom of the egg?(I will manually turn at least 3 times a day)
3).What is the humidity needed to hatch emu eggs, I've read around 30%-35%?
4).Does the humidity need to be raised during the hatching period?
5). Do emu eggs need to be misted if so how many times a day/week?
6). I am purchasing eggs from a breeder near me is $100 for 5 eggs a fair price?
