    Emu Egg Hatch-along

    @MGG I had 1 more break through last night. 2 more working on it tonight. I only turn mine 3 times a day, use room humidity, meaning I never add water 🤷‍♀️ I’ve always had excellent hatch rates. I started out with 10 this year. My friend wanted to incubate some, she just likes to watch them...

    I stop turning on Day 40 actually. Average room humidity is 30% BTW so don’t stress overly much about that. They don’t have a milk tooth on their beak like chickens. They are dependent on their legs to break their shell. Take them a bit longer - those shells are tough!! I was catching up on the...

    Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. Yes that is exactly what I do. The puppy pads are to slick on their own. I feed them Fruit Cocktail to get them started. The red of the cherries are particularly appealing to them 🤣. When is your lockdown date?

    I kept them in the packNplay between 4-6 weeks depending on the outside temps. I’ve been trying to think of other things I have learned along the way. They are very prone to spraddle leg because of their size/weight, make sure they have anti slip from hatch. They take a bit more effort to get...

    I wanted to post the video but for some reason it won’t let me. 🤷‍♀️ This is a picture of one of the babies who identified as a rabbit, preferred to be with them more than me or its siblings.

    That’s a great question. I never really paid attention to the timeframe r/t hatch. They are responsive weeks prior to hatch to tapping, recorded emu sounds. I have a video of the first year I incubated when I was tapping and had one almost roll off of the table. Lesson learned quickly!! 🤣

    The first year I did everything your doing, base weight, weekly weigh ins, keeping track of weight loss in a note book. The second year I realized I really was only doing that because I couldn’t candle them. So I didn’t do any of it, I knew I wasn’t going to give up on any of them until the...
