looking to hatch a ostrich or emu egg in my class

[teacher4]

Does anybody know of a farm that raises ostrich or emu egg in central FL. I have looked online and can't find one that is still open. I am a fourth grade teacher and would love to hatch one of these eggs in my classroom. How hard is it to hatch a egg using a incubator?

you should be able to find some soon, they are starting in there laying season right now between November till March is when emu lay , I am too far away but keep looking , my emu laid there first egg November 1 and has laid 4 in all so far. good luck

Do a emu egg. Ostrich egg would be MUCH harder to hatch.

Mine have not laid yet, or maybe I have not looked under enough bushes yet

my girls lay inside there building where they know they will have a heat light they started laying November 1, I have 4 so far , good luck with your girls Nicophorus maybe they will start laying soon ,

That's because laying season hasn't really started yet give it a weak or two and you shouldn't have any problem's with an incubator
