Emu Egg Hatch-along

[Slothinc]

I guess my first post about emu eggs will be letting everyone know if they can indeed fit inside a brinsea 28ex I am going to try and figure out for sure before they arrive. If not then I will get something else figured out very quickly

Thanks again, @FNF for the opportunity. I'm sad it didn't work out, but I'm glad the eggs will still get a chance. I'm excited to be able to follow along and see how they do. Hopefully I'll get to see some cute pictures in the near future!

Haha! They were big eggs too. Is that the only incubator you have? I just bought a riser for my nurture right 360 since I've always wanted one, and thought it would be nice for hatching ducklings. (and if I hatch emus again)

Maybe this fall!!

It’s the biggest incubator I have right now unfortunately. I have two others but they are a little smaller. The next time you take your egg out do you want to measure the circumference? Or even just the height and length? I know yours was a little on the smaller side but that would give me at least some idea of the sizing! Google is saying they should be about 5” by 3.5”

What kind are they? I don't think size matters much as long as they're tall enough. I had to get creative with mine, it wouldn't fit in my incubator with the tray in so I have it sitting in a water channel that I just don't fill. I can, sure! Mine is probably half the size of your two though.

Okay lol so I was looking around for a ball or something that would be comparable in size to an emu egg, and then I saw this big egg that somehow stayed in my house since last Easter I measured it and it is like exactly the size of what google said an emu egg is. So I popped it into both the brinsea and the chickcozy incubators and it fits! I actually think the brinsea could fit 4 eggs hmmmmmmm haha. But also I talked to a local friend who just hatched out an emu baby and she said I can borrow her incubator if needed. (Just in case they don’t fit in mine for some reason!) So I think we will be all set! Pics of the giant yellow egg in the two incubators.

I’m excited for you!!!

This thread has been an emotional roller coaster, I’m so invested in all ya’lls emus hopeful for everyone trying to hatch!

Omg, hahaha! That's awesome
I'd definitely go with the brinsea over the other one if they fit. Brinseas are just made nicer, at least in my opinion.
Are they shipping tomorrow?

I agree, the chickcozy has given me a lot of troubles, although I finally have figured out how to set it correctly for chickens, but yeah I’ll plan on using the brinsea! Somehow FNF was able to get them out with today’s mail at the last second!! So the estimated delivery day is Saturday
