    My last 2 eggs ar day 31 and I am not holding my breath.No wiggle but no smell. They are leaning so that is promising. I need help. I now have a weak chick laying on its head. Do you think it is wry neck. This is the one who still isn't eating as well as I would like. I am hand feeding it...

    The twin chicks are eating finally but will not touch the emu food. At this point I was willing to try anything. Collards and rabbit pellets which we had on hand. One had some apple today too. Hopefully now that the chicken chicks are eating it will help them eat emu food too.

    Yes the ones with chicks sounded like china to me when tapped wit a fork or metal the others clank. The egg will lean as well right around now. The air cell will be cooler than the other side too.

    Ok I will go get them some collards right now. Yes only a few days old now. I am paranoid lol. I gave them a chicken that just hatched today too so hopefully that will help too. It is all I had and a total surprise too from a hidden broody nest under out feed shed. Keeping my eyes out for more...

    One has lost an alarming amount of weight. They are so small I kept them seperated from the other emu chicks until they gain some strength and hopefully eat something soon. I am getting worried. They will drink water assisted by me though so there is that.

    I think this one is a female but that is just a guess I am not gonna hurt the baby teying to go all up in its buisness though lol. I saved the shells from her egg. I am going to send in. I was reading males have different feather pattern. I was wondering if they were sex linked or if that was...

    Day 52 bullet egg hatched healthy and happy. Pictures to come. Is there any way to tell males from females besides DNA? He is still really wet and taking a while to dry.

    My biggest issue with safety holes is being 100% sure where the air cell is. The egg is shaped funny bc it is so big and one egg is the possible twin egg. The other one is smaller but is also shaped funny. I can't tell which way it leans and have stared at them forever. These eggs are big. The...

    Day 51 and I have a pip in the smallest bullet egg. The other 2 are still wiggling but no whistle yet. I am getting worried. Hopefully I will have a baby soon. I added a tiny shot glass of water half full bc the popped baby was very dry (never happens in FL). I normally dry hatch, but I am...

    What I mean is when I try to turn them they roll back to the comfy side all om their own. I cant get them to stay unless I put something to hold them in place. It is deff more heavy on the bottom than the top.
