Emu Egg Hatch-along

[MGG]

It takes a pretty good strike with a hammer. I usually do it in a box in the trash can in the garage. You could try to blow it out but I don't know how to do that and if there was an embryo in it it wouldn't be successful unless you made a pretty big hole in the bottom.

Ok, I'll just crack it then. Plus if it smells outside that crazy shell I'm sure it's much worse inside
I'll post some pics after I crack it.

Omg too cute!!! Baby C lied, he wasn't first
What day are they on? Ooh I hope you get a white! They're cool looking.

Not hopeful because you haven't seen any wiggling on the day 30 ones?

Baby B internal pip day 50, hatched day 52. Weight loss around 16.9%.

Baby C internal pip day 51, hopfully hatch today. I can here Baby C working away! Weightless around 15.5%

I dunno. They other two just aren't giving me the alive vibe. I could be wrong. Weightloss is ok so who knows.

What temp were you incubating at? Thanks for the weights! Interesting they were almost a whole percent apart.

I know what you mean with the alive vibe, haha! Hopefully they're good.

I've smelled this egg a million times and had my whole family smell it too. Everyone agrees it smells off. I'm just scared to crack it in case I'm wrong. I really think it's no good but I cracked a good chicken egg on accident my first time incubating and it kinda traumatized me. I just don't want to crack it if I'm not totally positive. Ugh what to do

Can you put it in another incubator for a few days until you're 100% certain and it smells even worse

Between 96.5 and 97.5 as close as I can.

Maybe, haha. I have to see if I can find another one to fit it in. The air cell end really does smell off. The rest not so bad... Idk.

Do you have a big styrofoam incubator?

 

[MGG]

I feel like I should just crack it

Yeah. Three actually. They're all super finicky though.
