Anyone up for a Hatchalong?

[yinepu]

Out of my first 5 eggs only two hatched and both with Wry Neck. the first one has made a full recovery and I'm working on the second. I'm using the silenium and vitimen E. Have any one else had this before with emu? These are Kayla Estate eggs. I'm curious if it is the nutrition of the parrents or humidity/temp issues with the incubation.

Here is a link to see him.

I have moved the rest of my eggs out of the homade incubator and into the new Dickey. I have three more eggs that hit day 49 on Wednesday. These eggs came from a local guy.

how's the wry neck baby doing?

My first new baby hatched this morning at 4am!!!!

One down, two more to go...all 3 were rocking really good this weekend. Day 50 isn't until Friday..so this guy decided to come a bit early!! My kids named him Skywalker!

Congrats on the new baby!

mines are on day 21, when does if are not good eggs, start to stink?

A few days ago I had a stinker, egg #7, and, ironically it was on day 21 just like your eggs.

Today I had another stinker and it was egg #1 on day 42. I haven't opened it yet.

Egg #2 is also at day 42 and when I tap on the part where the air cell should be it sounds hollow and when I tap the middle of the egg it sounds duller, like it's full....hopefully with a chick. I've seen virtually no movement from that egg so I bet it's dead.

OMG ! but the eggs are still not stinkers!! well yet! I have and receive 4 new eggs today ! I just set them... The eggs feels like the old ones of course 3 of them feels like has something inside, more wheight on a side when I move them, then the weight rolls there like a baby inside!!!. hope there is a baby!!!, the rest feels empty!! the new eggs are heavy, I will post the weights in a minute!

I've had 2 weigh ins so far & 3 eggs lose 14g consistently every week while 2 of them always lose 11g a week. What do you think that means, 3 are probably chicks & those 2 are likely bad?

Also is 14g a week loss good? My hygrometer is bad so I haven't added any water so I think the humidty is 25-30

Well actually I'm 2 days early for my day 14 weigh in but after weighing them they are right on to last time's weigh in...so now 3 of them have lost 11g & 2 9g, so the pattern is the same.

Day 1
A-671.8
B-653.2
C-671.1
D-681.3
E-672.8

Day 7
A-657.5
B-639.1
C-660.0
D-666.8
E-660.9

Day 12
A-646.4
B-628.2
C-651.5
D-655.8
E-651.3

how's the wry neck baby doing?

He has improved a little but is still struggling badly. I think I will give it a few more days.

On a better note three more eggs are at day 50 so hopefully soon we will have some more chicks.

you can wath the hatch here.

well... I did the math... and this is what you would be looking at for 15% weight loss

Day 1
A-671.8 .. 100.77 g loss over 50 days at 97.5 degrees.. which is 2.0154 g per day or 14.1078g per week
at day 7 you have 657.5 (657.6922 projected) and on day 12 you have 646.4 24.1848 (647.6154 projected)

B-653.2 ... 97.98 g loss over 50 days .. which is 1.9596 g per day or 13.7172 g per week
at day 7 you have 639.1 (639.4828 projected) and on day 12 you have 628.2 (629.6848 projected)

C-671.1 ... 100.665 g loss over 50 days ... which is 2.0133 g per day or 14.0931 g per week
at day 7 you have 660.0 (657.0069 projected) and on day 12 you have 651.5 (646.9404 projected)
10% loss would be in the "danger zone" of too little loss... which would be 67.11 g lost over 50 days...
1.3422 g lost per day or 9.3954 g lost per week.. day 7 would be 661.7046 and day 12 would be 654.9936
you're still "ok" on this egg.. but it's one to keep an eye on.. maybe move it a little closer to the fan for a few days and see how it does?

D-681.3 ... 102.195 g loss over 50 days .. which is 2.0439 g per day or 14.3073 g per week
at day 7 you have 666.8 (666.9927 projected) and on day 12 you have 655.8 (656.7732)

E-672.8 ... 100.92 g loss over 50 days .. which is 2.0184 g per day 14.1288 g per week
at day 7 you have 660.9 (658.6712 projected) and on day 12 you have 651.3 (648.5792)
10% loss would be in the "danger zone" of too little loss... which would be 67.28 g lost over 50 days ..
1.3456 g lost per day or 9.4192 g lost per week.. day 7 would look like 663.3808 and day 12 would look like 656.65.28

for eggs C & E.. are they in the same place as far as relationship to the fan (same side of the bator?)
I noticed in my reptipro that eggs sitting directly in front of the fan started losing weight too rapidly so I had to move them around every day... not sure how you have your eggs placed.. but with those eggs showing a little off from the weight loss that you should be expecting it makes me wonder where they are in relationship to the fan in your incubator.


lol.. hopefully my math is correct (yeah it's still early here)
