Anyone up for a Hatchalong?

I am new to the forum (first post was in the introductory thread) but I have read this thread from start to finish. I think it is amazing what you guys are doing and it is lovely to see the photos of your new little guys. I really felt for everyone that lost an egg or even worse a baby. I have been showing my kids the videos of the babies being born and I just wanted to say thanks for all the stories, the lovely photos and the awesome videos.
 
I looked at the feed label, and the protein is 21% not 28% as I thought. Is that ok at 21%? Thanks for the feed plan, I will do that.

I sent the membranes in the mail today. Hope that I get a pair.

21% is still a bit high.. but should be ok for the first week
lol.. getting a pair is hard (or so it seems).. I have mostly boys!
I need a male! LOL Where is little Elvis when I need him LMAO!

we need more females here!... so far we only have 1 girl and the rest are boys.. still need to get around to sending in the rest of the DNA tests... maybe when I have the results back I'll have a better boy/girl ratio
 
You can cut the high protein feed with another feed too, this is what I did.

You could possibly get some reptile supplement powder to mix in as well if the calcium is too low, and those are often packed with other vitamins as well.
 
Hello, I just got my 4 emu eggs in the incubator. I am at day 3 so the anticipation only grows from here..... I am so very excited. I ordered my eggs from Floeck's Country Ranch.
