It's weigh in day! Oh and we have 9 more eggs that should arrive today to set!

How is everyone's eggs doing?

The old GQF is fixed! Just needed a new fan motor. Now to get it up to 97.5ish. Also just realized I have to manually put water in the thingy daily

Yay that is just a few weeks away! February always flies by. Soon you will have babies to cuddle hopefully!

Weigh in on Saturday was consistent with the previous weeks results. 12 on track 2 not losing ideal weight.

Oh and another 8 eggs went in yesterday! I have one replacement coming due to an issue with the original one and then we will set the rest of what the local guy has collected from his girl. We should set about 27 total. He has pre-orders for about 15 so hoping we have a successful hatch and lots of color!

Oh my, time is flying ever so slowly in the emu hatching world! The first round is almost 1/2 way to hatch! Weights are still consistent with two losing too little, but aren't stinkers so they keep their place. The first round has 14 and so does the the second round that is due 2 to 2.5 weeks after the first hatch. In about a week I can start watching for wiggles!
