emu eggs are due

[Stellar]

Ok so I have two emu eggs I set April 19. I believe they are overdue but I hear them pipping inside...no whistling yet. 97 degrees, 30% humidity in the bator. Should I give up hope. Got me a stethoscope and I can hear them! I have no clue why I am not having emus yet. Patience is key but I had a baby die in the shell a while back and I don't want that to happen again.

I can hatch pretty much anything and emus are hard to hatch so I understand if they are duds BUT I swear there is something inside...

mine had set on the 21 of april and are a week old yesterday. If your hearing something.....

 

[Stellar]

I can hear a clock ticking inside. That's my cue for internal pip normally in other species. It makes me nervous though...

Can you help Emu's hatch? I've done it with chickens before. One success and one failure, 50/50 so far.

 

[AlexBracken]

Is the egg rocking? I would think that would be your main clue. I could tell when mine had internally pipped by the levelness of the egg and I could feel the chick moving around inside.

 

[Stellar]

Eggs are not rocking.

 

[EmtheFishLady]

Mine rolled and peeped. Loudly.

ticking like a bomb? mine scratched whistled squeeked breathed rocked rolled and recited poe. but do not help them there is nothing you can do but kill them by trying. no struggle no life.

Sit one on a counter and see if it rocks when you whistle to it. Keep whistling to it and see if it does it back. How many days over due?

 

[Stellar]

8 days overdue. I will try that.
