Started with 4 eggs from two shipped batches. One egg from each batch started to stink. Opened them up to find nothing.

2 eggs remaining on day 27 & day 24. 97.5 degrees and 30% to 40% humidity on average. They’ve been weighed every 3 days. Nervous I guess :p

I believe there are emus in these two! They’re leaning to the pointed end, but too soon for the wiggle test to know for sure. The turning will stop January 27th and January 30th.

Anything I may be missing on temp and humidity? Don’t want to mess this up! I did take the advice in another thread to remove the tape. I had to keep one from losing too much weight while the other 3 were holding. Prior to removing the tape, both of the remaining eggs were holding weight perfectly. So just upped the humidity a little.

This is what I live by. This time they will still be in a cheaper incubator, but forced air instead of still air with a small fan. Last time I weighed too often and was anxious the entire time. Taking a step back this time and going to just do the weekly weigh ins.

The math was at 15%.
