I have to admit I never thought of that and most likely never will LMAO! Just like I love a good hotdog but do not want to know what's in it. I look at it this way, you want to eat your birds then you have a right to they are yours. Me I look at what I have to do to the bird and the mess I have...

I stop turning when I hear chirping. Grassman Congrats! I couldn't kill my Emus for meat. I wanted a pair but if I ended up with 2 pairs I was going to donate one pair to our local zoo. There I know they would be taken care of. Next year is another try and I will see if the zoo wants any...

Hoping for a double hatch for you moonjelly !!! You should see the egg move or rock when you whistle to it after week 5 and around the 48th day you will hear chirping when you whistle to it. I officially moved Sorin and Callisto to the shed with the rest of the birds I also moved them into...

Try taking the egg out of the incubator and whistle. You will hear the chirpping clearer

I have no water in my incubator at all. I copied my weights from the 2 birds that actually hatched from the 6 eggs I bought. You will see the BIG differences in weight loss. The eggs that were perfectly losing the proper weight NEVER hatched. Egg 1 - Jan 23 - 566 - % goal loss 84.9 Jan 30 -...

I get mine done for $20 each at www.zoogendna.com I send them the whole shells once they are dry. It doesn't matter if they are broken cause I think they just want the dried blood in the inner membrane. I take my eggs out of the incubator and do the tap/whistle test. You can then hear clearly if...

I put a towel under the eggs so the chicks has something to prevent it from slipping. I do check the eggs for pips but that's it. I do it twice a day morning and night. Basically I am putting fresh air in the bator, but not keeping it open that long - gotta keep the heat in. Grassman no need...

Poor little one

Not me I stop turning when I hear the chirping. Place your ear to the egg and tap it with a pen and you should hear something. It isn't going to be loud cause the bird is still in the egg, but loud enough for you to hear.

You can hear the chick inside the egg chirping around day 48. You whistle it will chirp or you tap it and it will chirp. I stop turning the egg when I hear chirping (usually last 3 days). If it doesn't hatch by day 51 then I use the drill bit not the drill. My eggs were 96 degrees. I had one...

Just cause they wiggle doesn't mean your safe. I had one wiggle like crazy and it died in the egg, never hatched cause it ran out of air. I almost lost the other one that was wiggling too. They went over the 51 day hatch date and had I know to take a drill bit and using my fingers turn the bit...
