The temperature stabilized around 97.5, I had to use baby food jars instead of plastic because the plastic was beginning to leave an odor. Due to daylight savings next weekend. My first turning is usually at 7:00 AM now and I was wondering whether I should do the turning at 8 when it’s daylight...
I thought lower temperatures weren’t very ideal either. They said that 95.5 degrees is close to the temperature that emus incubate in the wild.
I haven’t tried heat sinks yet. Are they just water in glass jars?
I agree that it must be a scale error for the one egg. I just weighed them today which is the third day and egg one is 542, egg two is 524 and egg three is 540. So now egg one is losing .6 grams and egg two is losing 2 grams and egg three is losing 1.3 grams.At times my temperature in my...
I have a Hova-Bator 1602N that’s about two years old. I have a fan installed and one of the holes open for air exchange. I have had three emu eggs in there for three days with a temperature of 96.4 currently and yesterday it was 97-98. I lowered it because I read in an article that a lower...
Would you recommend putting the chick in a chair or just let the chick move around freely with the bandage on? I have two three week old Guinea Keets that have this issue but their legs are straight back behind them and I cannot feel the tendon rolling around on bad legs.
Update. We have a cast made out of cotton and vet wrap on their legs to keep it in place. We tried a hammock but they used their wings to get out of it. Going to try the tape splint method. I really hope that their legs aren’t fused already.
I have two,two week old Guinea Keets with the same problem. I want to put them into some sort of sling or chair but I don’t have any instructions on how to make one. Were not sure if the tendon is even in place. This is what we have so far.
Please share your ideas and what I should do with them...

What I been finding for common chick breeds is that a chick can go for $1.50,but when it comes to hatching eggs for their about $25. Just for a common chick breed,when there isn't even a guarantee of fertility.
