Was wondering if it is normal for emus babies not to be interested in food? One hatched yesterday and the other hatched this morning. I have offered water and food but they are not into it at all. Put my fingers in the dishes and wiggle them they stick beaks kinda in but Don't do anything...

Have Stripes (my 5 year old daughter named it) ha ha ha. In his own cage with a towel and heat lamp. Is doing great! The other egg is much more vocal now too maybe tomorrow it will be hatched when i wake up. I took the real stinky egg out and broke it open. It had an emu in it fully formed had...

How long should i leave him in the incubator? So tempting to just sit and cuddle with him..... Offered him/her a drink but wasn't interested.

Woo hoo!!!! Woke up this morning and it was hatched!!! Really wanted to see it hatch but happy that it actually hatched!!!

The first one I heard is very vocal Don't hear much of the wet bag though with that one. But the second one i hear it more but 2nd rarely makes a noise and is not as clear as the other one. First one peeps as soon as you do don't even have to have the egg up to my ear. Second you do. I have them...

He is sure making lots of whistling but not so much pecking noise. Should i be concerned? How long does it take? Not sure if he was moving before yesterday or not. Second one just heard today for sure but that one won't whistle back...... So exciting but nerve wracking!!!!!

I see I just whistled at the egg and he she totally answered back. So cool! But how long can they be out if the incubator before they get cold? Now I just want to sit with it all day ha ha ha!!! I can see the yard work coming to a halt. Ha ha ha

Whistle??? What kind of a whistle? Kind of figured that I should be waiting. Thanks!

Hi there hoping for some advice..... Yesterday was day 52 and heard 1 moving around in the egg. Checked today still hear moving but nothing coming out yet and now hear movement in another egg as well. Should I just be patient and wait? It has been so much work turning and keeping things just so...

So should a person just destroy any ones still showing symptoms and keep the recovered ones? Or destroy everything and keep ones never infected? Will the ones that have recovered be good chickens/layers? How do you know if they are no longer infectious and could the healthy ones be carriers...

Yes I put her back in right away. Settled right back in. Probably about +5 and higher during the day (warmer in the coop) and not sure temp. when I put her back on. I have my fingers crossed..... Don't know wether to candle them or just leave them alone. I don't have a very good candler. I am...

I can not believe I forgot to let her back in. I take her off her nest every morning (have a little cage for her as the other hens would not leave her alone and kept laying eggs in there) to go out for some exercise and scratch and then put her back in when she is done. Was multitasking and went...

I have ordered the last 2 years from them. First year never lost one. Last year lost a few but ordered earlier and was much colder and also had way more birds...... Going to order again. Later though this time. He doesn't start shipping until the beginning of May. I live in B.C. so they had to...

I got my order from MM on the 25 of Feb. Went in on an order that a friend put in. She went to pick them up in Orville. 2 hr drive for her and I met her at her house 1.5 hrs for me. Looked great only 1 maran dead and 1 weak houdan. Gave them vitamins in the water. Hand watered each one and...

Just to let you guys know. I have gotten 5 chicks so far!!! Guess I didn't bake all of them. Looks like there is at least 5 more. 1 has died. So not bad.
