I had 4 bad eggs that went down the toilet, eggs # 3, 4, 8 & 10. Eggs 3 & 8 had some growth but for some reason went bad

My question is about egg # 2 & 5, are they losing the proper weight?

Here you are, Yoda. I made you some graphs on #2 and #5:




Hope that helps.

Awww... I got dibs on any extra girls....... ; )

i have a slight odor in my incubator too. i noticed it 2 days ago. today it seemed a little more noticeable. i guess i will give them all the sniff test tomorrow to see which one it is. i'd love to have a blown out shell but i dont think i can stomache the smell to do it if its rotten.

I'm so happy for you yinepu! How adorable is that lil booger! You have other eggs on the same don't you, what day are they on? I've been keeping track of your charts but I'm on my cell phone & it's a pain in the butt to go back & try to find any info in the threads. Have you been able to tell its gender by the head feather pattern?

Polli, don't give up yet! A lot of people have been having a lot of success with Kayala's eggs so maybe the chicks just sleep a lot? Of course you have those 4 others to so I'm sure you'll get an emu out of it, mine are on day 24 & hopefully are alive n kickin!

Ok here's a question, have any of you had an egg you thought had a slight smell to it, hatch? The last day or so when I open my bator I swear there's a slight smell in there. 4 eggs smell fine but one I'm pretty sure has the faintest smell to it & I can't smell it at the aircell but at the pointy end of the egg...any thoughts?

Precious! Congrats!

External pips on two more! I vent sexed the one that hatched Monday night and I say we got a girl. Here is a pic of her head for those that are interested in the head pattern sexing experiment. I'm having all the chicks I hatch out this year DNA sexed, so I will post pics of head, and results on the "sex that emu chick" thread at that time.

Great looking baby
It would be helpful to see the pictures of a female vent sexing
