Bummer! As you might know i incubated 19 infertile eggs this year, so i feel your pain. now we have to wait 10 months to try again. not sure if this will work for you, but i got 14 dozen quail eggs , put them in my emu egg incubator and in just 18 short days...chicks ...98 little quail chicks...

it was still fun, wish i had eaten a few but hindsight is 20/20. i have 19 beautiful blown out eggs so not a total loss.

final report: of 16 eggs i incubated this year . no matter how lovingly you turn them, how carefully you check their weight, how prefect your temperature and humidity are, infertile eggs will not turn into chicks. i drilled drained and examined all of the horrible smelling contents of all my...

Drained my china sounding egg. Infertial. Smelled really bad. That egg was like half-way through the laying season. So now I'm thinking, no mating took place, or my male wasn't mature enough to get the job done. Stopped turning all of the eggs, gonna let them keep cooking in the incubator...

off topic..sorta of. with all the mess ups i've had this season and the most likely failure of my second hatch, i've been thinking. it sucks emus only lay eggs once a year. looked on the internet to see if there has been any effort with lights or temperature to get a second season outta of a...

well.......emu hatch over. shortly after my last post, went to do last turn. incubator unplugged, at the dc converter. did a turn 430 0r so before going to Easter dinner must have happened then. eggs ice cold (81 degrees) both ends the same temp. plugged in the incubator added new warm...

after my first six emu eggs proved infertile, i've been really hesitant to get any hopes up for the other 10. still with only a few days left it's hard not to get a little excited. still no wiggles, but nothing smells. keeping fingers crossed.

not going to lie...couldn't remember if march had 30 or 31 days, so i went with ???.

Day ??...started march 7 so pretty far along. No wiggles.

Recorded and watched it. Pretty good, needed more emu! Could have done without seeing that rea penis. Both me and my 10 year old had a good laugh about that.

just came home to a power outage, i think, air temp in incubator down to 91 degrees, temp in my water bottles 93 degrees. power must have just come back on because everything working fine but the incubator is struggling to get everything back to normal. hope this doesn't kill my eggs. fired...

Take 2. went back and read my emu farmers handbook. so section 10.4 seems to say that the "porcelain-sounding egg" is a bad egg. that is an egg with a tinny sound is mostly infertile. The "china" sound early on in the egg development means that the egg inner membrane isn't stretching...

i had a stinker, oddly when i blew it out, it didn't smell any worse my other duds. anyway, i first washed it with a warm cloth to make sure the smell wasn't something on the outside. then checked it the next day to see if it was the culprit. also did a blind sniff test with my son and...

so my second 10 have 16 days left, so they are 34 days in. i've noticed that if they tap during turning some have a different sound. it's a higher sound, like a china plate. is this the sound they talk about in the emu farmer book. The porcline (not spelled right) sound? anybody else ever...

All eggs in first batch were duds. Blew out all the eggs! So very nasty, but no signs of life. so thinKing all infertial. Hopefully some of next batch are hatchable.

Vent sex....(giggling like middle schooler)

Congratulations on the hatch.

type "o" should have said wasn't a complete failure.

Day 54 ...I think, nothing. 54/55 isn't a crazy number overdue. Stopped turning at 49 I think, some of the eggs have taken on a dramatic tilt since then. Not sure what that's about. Spent a good 15mins staring at the eggs, no wiggle. No matter what going to let them go till 60. Still...

day 50+ not counting anymore....pretty sure this first six were not fertile. was thinking what if my male isn't sexual mature. thinking forward to next year. so i got out the old emu farmers handbook. looked up how i would get a sample. Chapter 12.5 ,and I've been laughing all day...
