HATCHING 938 GRAM DOUBLE YOLK EMU EGG.

[Corny Caleb]

Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I have been on this blog, but I just wanted to drop by and bring you all along with me on my third Journey of hatching emus.
Last year's clutch didn't hatch so I'm hoping I have better luck this year.
I once again was generously offered more emu eggs this year, but THIS time there is a double yolker In the mix! Ok I KNOW that it is almost impossible to hatch a double yolk egg and even if it DID hatch it is super rare for either of the chicks to
Survive so I am aware of the risks, I just couldn't help myself

. So yes, I know there I'll be many skeptics stalking this thread, but just humor me lol.
As of the moment I am regulating my incubator's humidity since the temp has leveled off perfectly at 97.5 the humidity is a bit too high at 41 percent. Oh and btw the weights of the eggs are;
Egg A. (553 grams)
Egg B (581 grams)
Egg C. (646 grams)
Egg D (938 grams, yes it's HUGE).
I believe I'll put them in the incubator tonight. Really excited

.

P. s. Oomoo and Lulu are doing WONDERFULLY. I am VERY overdue to give you an update on them.

Will be interesting, please do keep us updated. Emu Farmers handbook # 2 goes into some detail about trying to hatch those 2x yolkers, if you have that book it's a good reference.
Says to turn them 180 degrees for any chance of survival and lists possible complications.
Good luck !

thank you for the tips, I really wish I had the book

. Does anyone have any tips on hatching double yolk emu eggs?

Wow, that is a monster egg! The seam around the middle is cool too. I am incubating my first emu eggs and read that they pretty much bust out of the egg at the hatch, rather than zipping like most birds. Maybe that will give the twins better odds? I am always hopeful and it is fun to try so I would love to follow along and see how yours do!

I hope they arent conjoined twins what a hard hatch and a hard life that would be.
