I tested the egg the other night according to the lady that gave me the egg. She instructed me to place the egg on a counter top and then tap it with the flat of the blade of a kitchen knife. She advised that if the egg begins to wobble that means that the chick awoke or was startled into moving. I tapped and tapped but nothing!

She also advised that the shell would smell if it was not fertile or the chick had died. So far no smell.

I have my fingers crossed.

When I saw that you had posted on this thread I couldn't get here fast enough thinking I was going to see a pipped egg!

If there is going to be one it will be around April 8th if my calculations are correct.

I was at the neighbors yesterday. My neighbor took me to a pen and informed me that If I wanted an Emu I was going to get as many as I could handle while showing me a male sitting on twelve eggs! I said I'd take them and worry about finding homes after ward. LOL
