Emu Eggs not wiggling but are tilted at day 43

[Newtoemu]

Hey there! This is my first time incubating emu eggs. I have three at day 43 in the incubator and one is wiggling but the other two are not. However, all three eggs are tilted and roll when put on a flat surface. Could the two still be alive just not wiggling for some reason? Thanks in advance!

They can! Some eggs never wiggle and then go on to hatch. Generally, if they don't smell and aren't leaking stuff, I leave them in until day 60 and see what happens.

I’m on day 50 and have yet to see any wiggles
The eggs did start to tilt around 2-3 weeks are not as tilted since day 48
I smell them and nothing bad
No leaking
They have all lost the exact same amount of weight and are about 14.5 % of total loss
But have a few days left
If I take them out the air cell end gets cold but the rest of the egg feels warm
These were not shipped but did travel 45 mins home with me
I was very careful with them
The lady I got from has had great fertility
Bstor has been at 36.3 throughout
Should I worry ?

What temperature have you been incubating at?

@Pyxis
I did a short video of the tap test today
These eggs were really tilted a few days ago
Now 3 are almost not tilted at all and one still has a bit bigger tilt not like it was though
Still warm at one end abd cools at air cell end

The tilt leveling out could be indicative of the chicks inside getting into the hatching position - how are they doing today?

Well end of day 53 I opened the air cells and no babies at all
My bstor did spike to 110 on me in the first few days
I think it killed any cells that would have started
The lady I got eggs from hatched before and after me as well as the one other person she sold to before me
A little disappointing
With all of this I still have my enu
Long story short
The lady before me didn’t listen about the grip to hatch being very important
2 of the babies hurt their legs slipping and sliding
At 7&8 days old they posted needing a home as she never bothered to help them
I went and got them and did everything I could to save them
At 4 weeks the bigger one took his big growth spurt and his leg messed up after so much progress
I had to put him down
This left poor ocean alone
The lady I got my eggs from had a lone baby hatch a few weeks younger and offered him to me
After a little over a week poor oceans leg twisted completely backwards with her growth spurt and had to also be put down
I was broken Hearted
I had bonded so much with those 2
But I gave them love and spoiled them
Ocean even got to run in the grass without hobbles a few times before her leg gave out
I had them out to sleep at the vet so it was peaceful and no more suffering
This left river
River cried all day looking for her and wouldn’t eat
A lady I knew had a gosling a few weeks old
I went and picked her up
They have been best buddies ever since
River will have a emu friend coming soon as the lady I got my eggs from has a few babies
Thank you for your help
Hopefully one day I get to hatch some but the meantime I’m going to enjoy river )
