    Low-budget EMU egg incubators? :)

    Hey guys! Hope you’ve all been well and had great Xmas/New Years! Now is my fave time of year because of EMUUU season! Yay! :yesss: Does anyone have any recommendations for some LOW-BUDGET incubators (around £250 max!) as much as I drool over the Brinsea Ova-Easy’s, £700+ is maybe a lil bit too...

    ICE-COLD egg thrown out of nest… STILL ALIVE!!!

    Thank you so much for your observations!!! It really does help! Rest assured I stuck him straight in one of my incubators no longer than 10 minutes after I had first picked up the egg.

    ICE-COLD egg thrown out of nest… STILL ALIVE!!!

    No! :bowBut I will right now! That is such a brilliant idea thank you so much! I had only been doing the standard warm-water-cotton bud dabbing at membrane. The humidity in the incubator is at about 60%, should I increase it further do you think? I wasn’t sure whether to jack the humidity right...

    Emu egg incubation... 1 month in... POWER CUT :(

    Emu egg incubation... 1 month in... POWER CUT :(

    Bless you, really appreciate your comforting words! I am trying not to be too optimistic, but a small positive was the fact that the incubator did seem to retain a substantial amount of heat, at 24.5°C upon discovery, so by no means was it stone cold! Thank you so much, I will keep my fingers...

    Hi guys, so I don’t really know what I’m hoping to achieve with this post, other than (at the very least) to utilise my current situation as an informative experiment for others to refer to, should they find themselves in a similar situation to me right now. So it is my first time trying a...
