HHe lives in my giant spa bathroom. I let him out in the house about twice a day for half hour to an hour and I watch him the whole time. I mean how can you not watch with the antics of an emu!! I didn't see him eat anything. The floors are wood and I always sweep before he comes out to avoid...
Edward the Emu (approx 1 month old) is usually running around the house chirping his little head off. Until yesterday. I noticed it around 6am when I woke to start the day. He didn't respond to me while I was in the bathroom with him. I checked on him eleventy times through the day. He was the...
Your pup and my pup match!!!!!
Okay, for the newbie on this...... what is the difference in their heads? What am I missing? How can you tell one from the other? Please teach me! I would love to know if Edward is actually an Edwina?!?!?!??!!?!??!?!?
I could be a paranoid mother
It looks like one of Edwards toes is splay toe? Or pigeon toed? Maybe he has a broken bone?
He is just learning to walk on his feet and I noticed it??
Am I paranoid?
Okay, so feed on day 3.
Edward was born on Sunday. Is Sunday day one so I feed him today? OR Sunday day zero and I feed him tomorrow?
Also, when do I introduce water? I know to put pebbles in the bottom so he doesn't drown. I just don't know when?
Thanks wonderful seasoned emu people for...
Okay, he came 2 days early... I guess he is a preemie emu
So, now that he is out a little early, what do I do????
When do I take him out of the bator and into the heat lamp?
When do I feed him (I know 3 days) but 3 full days from hatch? On day 3 first thing in the morning?? I know unmedicated...
So 3 of 4 eggs are bad.
I have all my faith left in one little egg. It is supposed to go into hatcher mode tomorrow. For some reason I feel like I shouldn't put any eggs in this basket. After the first one died during hatch, we scraped together enough money to buy 4 from a super duper...
Day 46
Went into the bator to fill the water. Looked down. One of 4 eggs is oozing? I don't even know what to call it. There isn't a crack or visible ding. It's just... not normal??
What is wrong with the egg? I am guessing this means I have another "no hatch" on this one?
Of the 4 eggs...
Oh yes, the eggs are on their side in my cabinet bator on the autoturner. He just picked up the egg and felt it slosh on the inside. After that moment of panic in my head, we quickly put the eggs back on their sides in the bator.
I waited so many weeks for these 4 eggs. I have been so careful...
Day 44:
First, I must admit, I vowed to myself that I will not keep trying to "check" to see if my eggs are moving. The excitement and anxiety over the idea of having this hatch turn out with an emu is killing me (the last hatch where he didn't make it all the way out depressed the daylights...
