Emu Egg Hatch-along

[MGG]

Did you save the eggshells to send in?

@MGG So sorry about egg 1, but still have very high hopes for egg 2!!!

You betcha. I've already stripped the lining out to dry and have the bags labeled! I'll send them after D gets busy. Also, have a random Sebbie who may be a male in disguise that will go for a feather test as well!

Thanks! I hope this last baby in this hatch is white. How perfect would that be?! One of each!

It would be like a perfect rainbow of emu colors Is blonde one the result of having one white gene and one brown gene? And white is two white genes? (Sorry for the simplistic terms, I’m not savvy on emu genetics)

 

[Strawberry74]

Me either! I just know there are 3 colors, white being the most rare and genetically frail from too much inbreeding. People don't breed white to white (or the shouldn't) or that reason.

Bummer. If it wasn't fertile, you could have had the world's largest omelet!
