Quote: 64 days! Wow! What's normal for them? Are all the eggs as dark shell as in the video? I've never seen one. He looked a little rough with the poor fella, but it also looked like he knew what he was doing. Would be nice to know if they survived and thrived.
What is the incubation time for Emu's?

Yeah.... The surviving egg will get a hole in it tonight... I think my humidity was too low. Like 8%.... But the person I got them from said to put no water in the bator and that is my humidity.... What would it look like if the chick had too low humidity?

I am sooo nervice! I waited 64 days and spent 20 dollars and egg and it would be soooo disappointing if it doesn't hatch...

Some say help, some say don't.... I am sooo torn!! And I am almost 100% sure this little guy is alive though? Is it too late to raise humidity?

Quote: I know nothing about hatching emus, but I do know that 8% would be to dry for chickens, ducks, guineas and peafowl. Did you weigh the eggs when you started?

Still at 8%. I was worried about raising humidity now. I know they do hatch in deserts in the wild...
