Emu Egg Hatch-along

[Strawberry74]

Day 31 today. Still on track for weight. The pointy end definitely feels warmer to me. No for sure wiggling but a couple times I swore I thought it did. Definitely could have just been me though.

It's easy to stare so long and feel like your eyes are playing tricks!! Lol. Did you "think" you saw some?

Haha! I thought maybe some very slight ones. I'm not super sure though.

I hope so! Lots of eggs on ebay right now

I was staring at my 2 remaining eggs this evening and think my eyes were playing tricks on me. You stare so long that your eyes start twitching lol. I thought I saw a slight movement, but at 36 days in my experience, it's should be much more obvious. I think my eyes were seeing things!

@FNF How are your adult emu? Are both the male and female friendly?

They are both friendly but the male much more so. They take treats by hand and you can pet them. I got in the nest with Fred when he sat last year and I played with the babies when he had them back in the pasture at a couple months old. The female is not aggressive or anything but she’s also not interested in getting her head scratched. Fred is a sweetie.

How is it doing today? Anything new?

At 11.00 am it was exactly 31 days ago, When I put the egg in in the incubator.

Start getting more and more nervous

The temperature difference between both ends has increased, after 6 min. at day 25 it was 1.3*c today 2,6 *c

That sounds promising! What do you measure that temperature difference with?

Very good to know. Are either aggressive or ornery during being season in any way? Were they both hand raised and raised as siblings? Or do you know?
