Are these emu eggs fertile? Hatchalong

Also do you do safety holes in the eggs?

Egg #16 was put into the cabinet yesterday evening 2/9. Think it was laid 2/8.

Thinking there may be some babies hopefully soon! Feeling pretty good about the newly laid eggs that are going into the incubator.

Your incubator has hardware cloth on the turning racks, mine doesn't have that. My cabinet has some railing.

I would do a safety hole if it were needed or if I know it’s needed. The little guy didn’t make it through the membrane, which meant no sounds from it to know it was stuck

Actually liking the hardware cloth knowing there is a bit of airflow getting to the lower shelf. It’s tough without sides though. So can’t put the eggs straight onto the trays. They just barely fit in there and touch the tops when it’s fully turned.

Goose’s hairdo today. I’d choose him as a mate too if I was an emu

One of the 1/7s wiggled the tiniest of wiggles!

Thank goodness…

So when is the next possible hatch?

 

[ShannonsChimkens]

Two weeks from today would put them at day 49. So potentially 2/24.

Ah, my sister's birthday! You could potentially name one after me yet!
