Anyone up for a Hatchalong?

[Pollitollito]

I will try both now, thanks so much !! im triyng to get a temp hygrometer that pertsmart has, but here at PR sometimes its hard to buy things like this, its best to purchase it at US, ever as we are part of US territories we dont receive as much things as I wish we could! at the stores definetly, but I buy at ebay, Il let you all know!!!

When should the eggs start moving or making sounds? I read that it takes up to 50 days, any help would be appreciated

I would appreciate your opinions on this (=
if someone had 3 breeding pairs, that of course can sometimes lay every other day each or sometimes only once a week depending. Soo, how many eggs could they lay in one week? Also that past 2 days, Saturday 1 & Sunday 2, she's gotten 3 eggs from them already (not including today, I haven't talked to her). I'm wanting 9 eggs & am hoping there's a chance next Friday when I meet her that she could have that many for me, then I wouldn't have to have any shipped, that'd be just lovely!

typically a female emu will lay one egg every 2-3 days.

Well, I am coming into the final stretch on my 3 eggs I set back in December...Day 50 will be Friday, February 16!!!! (only 17 days left) Been handing turning this batch the entire time. Last year I let the autoturn cradle do the work, and out of 9 eggs, I hatched out 6, other 3 were duds. So I am hoping to get at least 2 emu chicks out of this batch, and see if hand rotating 180 degree's does any better than that autoturn.

good luck to you have you heard them peeping?

 

[Pollitollito]

which breeder you got the eggs from? how much water/ temp you use to have so high % hatch rate
