Emu egg (first timer)

[ES Emus]

from the picture, it doesn't look too bad, I would worry more about you shaking the egg. If you shook it too vigorously, you ruined any chance of hatching it and you ended up with a scrambled egg... you never shake an egg you plan to hatch.

I did not shake the egg. I turned it over in my hand gently and it went "gurgle gurgle". Why would anyone shake an egg?!

What became of the egg? What did the seller say?

He refused to work with me on it. I disputed it and ebay sided with me and refunded my money. It was very thoroughly bad on the inside. I bought 6 eggs total on ebay, 5 werent fertile and the sixth was only half grown when I busted it open at 65 days. i may never get my emus. :-(

At least you got your money back--those are not inexpensive eggs. Hang in there, you'll get 'em!
