How long was your incubation time? Getting a little worried mine are at day 52

When I first hatched emus the first on hatched on day 49/50 and the other four hatched from day 55-59. Don’t worry yet. If you lay the egg(s) on a flat surface and watch you may be able to see it wiggle and roll and one side of the egg will be noticeably warmer also at this age the chicks will begin to whistle which can faintly be heard through the thick shell.

Thank you, so many different answers and results to be found on the Web.. Trying to have patience lol its hard.

I'd like to see different flooring, something that allows the chick purchase to stand, so its talons spread naturally.
