2026 Emu Hatch-Along

[Strawberry74]

It hatched! Along with a second last night. The second chick had some stuff in the egg with it, and there was a drop of greenish white fluid were the umbilical cord is. Do you know what this is?View attachment 4317169

Congratulations! The rule is, we don't believe there are babies unless we see pictures

That is an odd amount of hatching debris. There is always some, but that looks a little different than what I usually see. It's the babies yolk site on its belly fully closed?

Yes, it seems to be doing alright so I'll probably just keep an eye on it.
Also pictures.

I didn't realize they had claw wings. They really are dinosaurs.
