Emu Hatch A Long

[Why and Dotte]

I have acquired my emerald gems!​

They were weighed and placed in the incubator on 12/10/21, that puts potential hatch dates at 1/28/22 to 2/4/22.

DATA​

Temps are stable at 36.2°C / 97.3 °F
Humidity levels are around 26%-28%.
The incubator I am using is a GQF Circulated Air 2370, with analog thermometers and a Govee to monitor averages.
I turn by hand 4x a day.
I didn't weigh at say 7 but will weigh today which will be 10 days.
I'm not sure what I was thinking....the 17th was 7 days so I'm on track.

Whoa they look like dragon eggs! Watching for sure!
Have you seen A Chick Called Albert's emu egg video?

Don't they? Nearly every time I turn them I say how pretty they are how awesome they are
I haven't seen that one yet, I'll check it out though!

(Smile) I was just thinking the same; I wondered whether successfully hatching these spectacularly sized beauties would confer the “Mother of Dragons” title, on you….as in the Game of Thrones series.

So exciting!!! I love Emus, they're awesome birds. Someday I'll get some, lol.
I wish you the very best luck! Can't wait to follow along. Will they all have the usual coloration?
