2026 Emu Hatch-Along

[ShannonsChimkens]

@ShannonsChimkens I am so glad that you like the pen! I tried one of those but wound up with this one, jumbo size! I like it because I can use it with chicks too and they can't fly out!

Any more babies yet?

#3 hatched last night. Another blonde male. #4 from the standard female may not hatch. It could have a deformity or is just a weak chick that won’t thrive. It’s still in the membrane and hasn’t even tried to exit or make an air hole in the membrane.

I have a question. I had problems with the incubator at my egg's original weighing and set the humidity to high so they have not lost as much weight as they should have at this point. Should I decrease the humidity to compensate? I have it set as 32% now but I don't know if I will have problems if I decrease it to much.

I’m trying to think what I would do in that situation. I would probably set the humidity level a little lower for a bit so things can even out. That’s a tough one though. What day are they on?
