Oops bought emu hatching eggs

[AlleysChicks]

How cute! What does your little dog think to the baby emu?

Oh she loves all the babies. Everything I've brought in she checks out. She's been with me for every weekly weigh in.

So adorable! I wonder how long it will take for your chick to outgrow your pup?!

I just caught your thread this evening, I am in southern Ohio too. I started my eggs on March 16th, since it is past midnight, today is my lockdown day. I ordered mine by bidding on eBay. I never thought I would win the auction. Then when I did, I kind of freaked out. I had never hatch Emu before. But I found as nice couple in KY that raise them. They have been very nice and taught me so much. Day 55 is the 10th. I am retired so I can stay right here with them. Both of mine pass the whistle test(big movement). The eggs have tilted like they should, one side (the pointy side) is hotter like it should be. I use a temp gun the make sure. I take the lid off daily for 5 minutes, and the Temp and humidity are as follows for mine. 97 degrees, 35% Humidity. I figured I might as well try it. They told me Seramas and Ayam Cemanis were hard, but I hatched both breeds just fine. I am keeping my fingers crossed

Fingers crossed for you! I've hatched several breeds but emu have been the most nerve wracking for sure!

Update on the baby. I sent dna out Monday morning, the lab received the sample today. Hopefully turn around time is fast! I'm curious on the gender of this baby so I can name it.

OH exciting news! I found a white emu female and I'm picking her up tomorrow!

I am supposed to pick up two, their lockdown date is the 8th. I live near South point, and they are over by Sommerset Kentucky. I lock these two down today. DO you know of breeders close to me?

I know very few in ohio. Most that I've found are in Kentucky or Pennsylvania

Same here, there is a large community of breeders in Maryland, but that is farther than what I found in KY.
