2022/2023 Emu Hatch-a-Long

[Gigachad poultry]

I'm wanting to get some rheas. There like smaller emus that got bleached white.

Pulled two chicks out of the incubator tonight, got a third egg whistling One little female is going to a home with a yearling male that needs a friend. Looks like two girls this time so far, which helps balance out all the boys I've been hatching! So many boys this year.

How do you know gender at hatch?

I have a bit of a problem. An egg of mine internally peed wesnday I belave. But has not yet externally peeped. An egg that internally peeped after this one has externally peeped today. It has started to huff and puff, I'm not sure what to do any advice

I would do a small safety hole in it. But also be aware that often if they can't externally pip, there could be a problem with the chick. It might just be a simple malposition, in which case no issues, but it also might have problems that would result in you having to cull.

Or maybe it's just a slowpoke! In which case the safety hole still doesn't hurt.

Thanks i will probably do a saftey hole. I drill a small hole by where the air sack was right? I think its probably because of bloat the one that did hatch was bloated so I'm thinking that's probably why he hast got out yey.

Yes, a small hole in the air cell. I use a drill bit to do it. Go very slow because the chick is in there at this point and you don't want to hit it.

Alright I'm intrigued.
