No clue... the eggs were taken from a male who was already brooding at a safari zoo. I hand picked them and safely broght them home a few weeks ago... The date is on my egg weights when i 1st got them. So it can be at any time for them to hatch. I was hoping someone would have a weight of a freshly hatched egg so I could have an idea of when these eggs will hatch.

LOL I really dont know if there all fertile or if they will all hatch, but ill be happy with at least 4 emus. Let them loose in the pasture.

Here's a good link...lots of info. under incubation requirements, but still no weights of hatched eggs. However, it does talk about the weights of the egg and how they are most gradually decreasing in the beginning and the end of incubatioin. Maybe there's some helpful info there. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/poulsci/tech_manuals/emu.html
