Emu Egg Hatch-along

[AleksanderPL]

Hard to say , I'm not an expert but wouldn't a chick be more dark red ??

Still no wiggles ??, you do a good job in terms of humidity i have to lower a bit.

I will stop turning this weekend so I don't have to go out at night, to turn , Finally

I know I’m a late comer but I just finished catching up on the whole thread and now I want to see what happens!

This is the fusion setting which means the very light yellow is the hottest section. The oranges are cooler. But it's the whole middle section, I'd think the heat should be more dramatic and distinct with a chick.

Nope I haven't seen any. Thanks! I'm trying. It's tricky!

Haha yeah it's hard to remember to turn enough. I figured if it would be fully developed by now anyway it shouldn't need to be turned anymore. One less thing to do.

@Strawberry74 what do you think?
Also how's your weird egg doing?

Thanks! I don't think mine is viable but lots of other people have some going! I'm loving the baby pics. So cute
Also kudos to you for reading this whole thing!!!

@MGG I had 1 more break through last night. 2 more working on it tonight.
I only turn mine 3 times a day, use room humidity, meaning I never add water
I’ve always had excellent hatch rates.
I started out with 10 this year.
My friend wanted to incubate some, she just likes to watch them hatch . Then she gives them back after they get too big to be inside.
Unfortunately a friend of hers accidentally upset her incubator and 3 broke when they hit the floor. She was so upset.

I have no experience with that so really no clue! Sorry I am no help. Keep it in until 60 days just to be safe.

My egg (and the other one) is still in. The one is level now so the next week will tell the story. I am still not hopeful, but honestly hope it proves me wrong and makes me a believer in the "NEVER EVER WIGGLE AND STILL GO ON TO HATCH EMU CHICK!"

I hope yours proves us wrong too! Lol

I am skeptical since of the 9, almost 10 (including the last minute quitter) I've hatched, the wiggles have been VERY obvious. I am convinced people who say the non wigglers hatch don't stare at them like I do

Time for an update. I set 3 local eggs on Monday morning. The other 2 replacement eggs well arrive Saturday so a potential of 5 more babies mid April.

The 2 females have found their forever home and went to live with a couple who love birds of all sizes! They have been sending me pictures and they will have a great life. I annoyingly vetted them out (I always do). They were picked up yesterday. I have been hearing phantom whistling all afternoon and evening. I kinda miss my little whistlers. However, they were getting big and pooping a lot and I was already planning their move to the great outdoors during the daytime this weekend. Now I don't have to and can focus on other farm stuff.
