    Splay toe???

    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?

    Something is wrong with my egg? It's oozing?? See Pic.

    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...

    Houston, I think we have a sloshy egg problem?!?!?!??

    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...

    day 35

    Today is day 35. I tried the float test and didn't see anyone moving. Is it too early? One thing I did notice: 3 floated. 1 sunk under the surface. Does that mean I have 1 possible dud? The excitement is REALLY setting in!

    Another try at hatching... question

    I have 4 eggs on their way from a FANTASTIC BYC member who read about my plight and turned into a superhero to my kids. Once the eggs arrive, how long do I let them "sit" and "settle" from their trip? I have a cabinet incubator and holders that do not fit the giant eggs. Anyone have any...

    Is it still that time of the year?

    I was hoping that maybe I could find another emu egg to go with the emu in the bator... I'm just not sure what the emu time of the year is?? If it is still that time of the year, do you know of anyone selling eggs? I looked on the egg listings and there wasn't any Thanks!!!

    Day 56 and don't know what to do or think????

    Okay, day 56. I'm not sure what is going on. Did my egg develop or am I making a soft boiled emu egg? Odd, the egg rolls to one side while sitting still. I'm not sure if that means someone is in there or not? I don't hear anything? I don't know if I should sit it on the counter and stare...

    What am I doing wrong!?!?!?

    I happened to get a free emu egg. I put it in the bator right away. Temps are pretty steady, but I can't seem to keep the humidity up?? It is a cabinet bator... kinda older. I put 2 new plastic bins with a large beach towel floating in it to make more surface room to raise humidity... and it...

    Veins moving around during candeling? First time Incubating...

    This is my first time incubating. I just candled and saw veins in the eggs... good. I'm on day 11 and one of the eggs seems to have the veins pulsing and sliding around? Kinda creeped me out.... The others didn't seem to have this going on inside... Is this normal? Good? Bad? Disturbing...
