Yeah it is cool. They stopped watching the eagles on ustream to watch the emu eggs. Hopfully they will see a chick tomorrow. I'm going to help them hatch chics this spring in the room.

luvducks is the pic on your avatar a call duck? It's very cute.

Yes that is a Call Duck. He was the first Call I hatched from shipped eggs. He was the only one that hatched out of 6 eggs so brooded with baby chicks. He has bonded with the chicken group so I leave him there. I am donating some eggs to our little Community School also. I am going to let them hatch some Silkie/Cochin cross eggs because those seem to pop out with no problem. I want the children to get a nice hatch. Right now I am busy WAITING FOR AN EMU to hatch! Ha Ha Every time I see a new post on this thread I hurry to read it in case there was a new developement. Heard Emu noises yesterday.

The camera was down when I woke this morning. Back up now. Today is day 54.

The egg is making more noises and seems to be wiggling a bit more this morning. Man I hope today is the day.

Wow what beautiful blue eggs! Can't wait to see them again later, will be keeping up to date on this one!!!

 

[mitch324]

I keep hearing a clicking noise that I thought was the chick peeping. I think it is the thermastat clicking on and off.

I have been listening to this at work for the last few days and sort what has been keeping me going. I would hear it click and I would think the chick is still ok. Well now I will just know the incubator is working.

sooooo this could take 3 more days?

 

[mitch324]

Yeah I guess up to 56 days. Most of what I read said 48-52 days but I did find a few refferances saying they can go to 56 days.

I can't wait another few days. This is just like having a new born. I keep getting up at night and checking on it.
