Look at the 'ostrich' egg- new sad news! Pg 6

Anything yet??

not even a pip. I'm thinking of pipping it myself and seeing if there is anything viable inside. Any advice? 3 of the eggs already hatched (day 19 and day 20) and are in the brooder box. This one and another one haven't done anything yet. (day 22 now I think.)

Too sad everyone...
I pipped both eggs open and didn't see any movement. In fact, there was liquid runny stuff so I opened both eggs up. The small egg had a ~2 week old baby chick in it perfectly formed only tiny...the HUGE egg had 2 tiny chicks, but even less formed and less developed than 2 weeks. Maybe 1 week and a bit more for the bigger one. it had to be a double yolk, but it was all runny when I opened it.
Oh well, lesson learned. If at first you don't succeed; try, try again....if I ever get another huge egg, I'll try again.
Over and out for this time

I was hoping you'd have great success. Best wishes for your future hatches.

I was so sad to read this today, I had everything crossed for you. Good luck for your next hatch.

Thank you so much...it was exciting to think about hatching twins. But maybe next time.....

It's awesome that you tried. I wouldn't have been able to. Hope you get another egg soon and get a 100% hatch
