Need Help Incubating! EMU EGG!

[Pyxis]

Thanks! Im so excited! How come so many people say emus are stupid and dumb but then their are those people that say they are smart?

Not sure; I don't find that mine are really what I would call dumb. But I also wouldn't say they're extremely intelligent either, lol.

Alright awesome! Thank you! is there any rules as to keeping them inside the incubator after they hatch or should i take them out when they start hatching or just leave them in there? I want to take video of it hatching so is it ok to take it out and hold it in some blankets?

Well, hatching takes a long time and they need to be warm during it so you can't really take them out and film for the entire time they're hatching. They don't walk well at all for the first couple of days so it can be safer to leave them in the incubator for that time. You can still take them out and hold them etc if you want during that time.

So I need to leave it in my incubator for days? My incubator is small?

You could move it to a brooder instead, but you'd just have to make sure it was able to get under and away from the heat lamp as needed.

Hey. I was offline the last couple weeks but I see you’ve been getting good advice. I stop turning on day 48 or 49. Hatch can be anywhere from day 50 to 60. A friend of mine just had one hatch on day 65!
Give us an update... seems like yours should be getting ready to hatch.
