For what it is worth, there is an Australian bird known as a brush turkey (Alectura lathami) that is the only known bird that is a no brood incubater. It does not incubate its eggs, but lays its eggs in a mound and depends on the warmth of the sun and environmental temperatures such as the heat generated from decomposing leaves and other organic matter to incubate its eggs (like a reptile). When its eggs are artificially incubated, studies have shown higher incubation temperatures produce more female hatchlings and lower incubation temperatures produce more male chicks. When left alone in their natural mound nest, the male to female ratio is more even. I don't know if any study has ever been done with emus but I know that the sex ratio of many reptiles, especially members of the crocodilian family as well as several fishes, are influenced by incubation temperatures. Sorry, I was a biology major/chemistry minor in college.
