Day 44:
First, I must admit, I vowed to myself that I will not keep trying to "check" to see if my eggs are moving. The excitement and anxiety over the idea of having this hatch turn out with an emu is killing me (the last hatch where he didn't make it all the way out depressed the daylights out of me). I vowed after my last "test" that I will let the bator do its job and just see what happens.
So... my brother comes by today as I am filling up the water in the bator. He hasn't seen the eggs before, so he was oogling them in amazement. THEN, he switched point up to point down (as in North to South) and he said, "Um, is the egg supposed to be sloshy like this?" I asked what in the world he was talking about. He turned the egg again and this time I could hear the goo on the inside.
1 egg has a friend wiggling. I have 1 egg that sunk when I did the float test (I have no idea what that even means). I have one (the egg above) that sloshes both physically and you can hear. I have one that I am afraid to touch at all for fear of somehow killing it. If I get 1 out of 4, I will still be ecstatic, I just will feel horrible for it being a lone emu
At this point, I have a feeling that I know the answer, but need to hear it from someone else. Do I have a really soft boiled emu egg?
