2019 Emu Hatch-A-Long

Sounds as though it's bad and either the bacteria is green, in which case use gloves et al, or its possibly mixed with the green shell pigment? Not sure how likely the latter is though

If the bacteria was bad tho wouldn’t the chick be dead or there would be a smell?

Ah it's the good egg? Perhaps a minute crack which has forced some fluid out and merged with pigment? Again, just spitballing what I believe to be plausible

Nope unfortunate that’s not it

Interesting, it's a shame all emu research seems so hard to come by! Going to try giving my eggs 10 minutes as opposed to 5 to start wiggling tonight. 2 weeks to day 52, my paternal side is getting to me

So this happened today! Same one as previously wobbled. Turns out leaving them out longer worked. Only this one moving though so it's slow progress. (Watch the one on the left hand side after I go to put down the egg the last time - I never said I was any good at editing)

Well the baby died. It was an infection inside the egg. So bummed....
