The ostrich egg we bought 5 weeks ago has devolped and is scheduled to hatch this weekend. Here is a link to the camera. I think two of these three emu eggs will also hatch.
Wish me luck...

I have 25 eggs in the incubator the first five are on day 47. It sounds like three have internaly pipped one is chirping and the others sound differant when you tap on the egg.
Last year I did not keep track of the weight loss of my eggs but this I'd like to do a better job monitoring th humidity. Does any know what my target should be from week to week.
I'm getting the incubator set for 97 to 97.5 and 25% humidity.
I think I have a boy and a girl. What do you guys think? I can not believe how friendly these guys are. They are like little puppies.
Not much of a bird dog.
Hello,
I just set 35 eggs in my son's class room. I was just curious if any of you teachers out there that have hatched in the classroom had any good refferance material? I have given his teacher the candling photo's from the Sticky thread but was curious what others have done.
Thank you!
We started a second batch of Emu eggs on March 8th sortly after are last attempt failed. This time I lowered the humidity a bit and have been turning by hand.
I put the eggs on the counter last night and one of them rocked slightly.
I'm not sure if I will brodacst this hatch or not. I just...
Hi everyone. Does any one know how soon you can do a float test? We are on our second atempt at trying to hatch Emu eggs. It is day 24 and my four eggs sank.

I just pulled the turner out of my incubator and set up the webcam. The two eggs on the top of the screen have been wiggling when I set them on the counter. The egg on the bottom of the screen we think is a dud.
Here is a little background.
We bought the eggs from a BYC member and they...
I have 3 emu eggs in the incubator. They are on day 39. When should I stop turning? Day 42? Also at lockdown what should I bump my humidity up to?
Temp has been holding steady at 97.5f and humidity has been constant at 30-33%
I did a float test the other day and two of them moved.
I'm working on a turner for a homemade cabinet incubator. Has anyone out there ever tried using a motor and gears from a can opener? It looks like it is about 60 rpm with lots of power. I was thinking about grabbing another one from Good Will and using it to gear it down evan further.

Hi I have 16 Khaki Campbell due to hatch on the 31st along with 14 chicken eggs( they were added 7 days after the ducks). I just checked on the bater and I saw a duck egg move in the turner. I candled and it looks like I have a few internal pips. Is it ok to pull the turner and go on lock...
