Just started my first Emu hatch!

[dma251]

I’m on day two of my first emu hatch. I have two eBay eggs from the San Fran Bay Area, and their journey was only two days. I popped em in the incubator at 97 degrees about six hours after they arrived. Starting weight was 593g and 594g.
Got a nifty WiFi thermometer that sends me alerts and charts the temps and humidity. All the thermometers seem to agree. Let’s start Incubating!

Awesome, how long do Emu eggs incubate? A colleague of mine has emus and ostriches. I think I will stick with chickens..

definitely following because we want to add emu to our farm in the future.

Oh my goodness! Yinepu wrote this. And Raptor and kbgh and 'Tame Emu Guy' -- that's me -- are there too.

See the tin plate? The chicks are 'Felicity' and 'Greedy.' Both now dead and gone. But I used the plate to feed their little brother, Tooshtoosh, this morning at dawn
