My Emu hatching thread (come join me)

[BellLisamo]

Well, I got talked into hatching emu's to keep.

I didn't take much convincing, they are big beautiful birds!

I will set the 5 eggs tomorrow after my incubator is sure and stable.

According to many websites, my incubator needs to be set at 96-97 degrees, and have a humidity of 30%-35%, then the last 3 days 50% - 55% humidity.

PLEASE let me know if any of that is wrong before I get going.
Also, i have various answers about how long it takes, so i think ill give a roundabout guess of 46-56 days. hahaha

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to hatch with you but, I have no eggs.

I am hoping to get some chicks soon as the gentleman that has them near me already has all his eggs in the bators. I will be watching this thread. Please post pics!
