OMG congrats!!!!Look, as someone with a whole lotta experience hatching (and livestock rearing).... these dinos are a whole different genre of egg-hatching!
When the emu experts show up....
Temp was steady at 97-97.5. The two that have popped were on the tray above the other 3 in the cabinet... I believe the little bit of temp difference explains why those have popped and the others haven’t.
Humidity kept at 30-35.
Currently at beginning of day 53. All are wiggling & alive.
One that pipped shows some bleeding at site on the membrane, which I assume means he should chill and take his time. Looks great in there from what I can see when his beak pushes the membrane.
The other seems to have fast-tracked and is now out. Seems like a typical floppy new chick, only dino sized. Can’t see navel yet to check on y’all absolution.
If it were any other bird I would have kept temp higher for the last few days, but I kept these guys at 30%.
i don’t help any of my hatches, but these guys are an exception, I’d love advice on when to intervene as to not lose healthy chicks due to my novice emu hatching.
Thanks!View attachment 2513577
