Emu Hatch-a-long 2012

nice trick!

Do you remember which of Yoda's eggs was oozing?

Stumbled upon it accidentally with that stinker I had awhile ago, it hadn't started weeping yet, I just noticed that one of the labels I'd put on the egg had a bead of liquid coming out from under and when I peeled em off it was wet under the tape and the smell was horrible. Checking regularly you might be able to catch a stinker even earlier.

Egg#1 was clean and dry when it went in last night - When I got my eggs I post pics of two leakers and know then that two more were suspect. Should I clean the other one again and wait?

It needs to be removed cause it will contaminate the other eggs. I cleaned off the egg that was below my oozer but it started to smell a few days later. So if you have any eggs that are on top or above the others and they are oozing they are no good, remove them ASAP. Clean off the ones below it, if the next day they are oozing get rid of those as well.

What is the preferred temp that most people are using - I have researched and read everything I could find - looks like two camps out there in the EMU world - One at the 97.5 +- .5 F and one down to 96 +- .5.

Just wondering were everyone is at?

Yinepu - how long after you get an external pip do they take to hatch?

95.5 for this hatch

external pip was sometime this morning between 3 and 6 AM... he hatched out about an hour ago.. I need to post more pics in a bit

it can vary though.. I had one crack in my hands once.. he was out within 5 minutes

When it is dry can you sex them by the feather pattern on the head?
