Unfortunately, we did not get any development inside our ostrich egg, it was either unfertilized or was shaken up in its 3,000 mile mailing...

Yeah, we are a little disappointed, it would have been a neat project but we have enough on our hands with all of our emus!

My grandson had a question & I don't have the answer. How often do ostrich lay & do they sit on a clutch? My grandson & I were watching a show yesterday where they said that one ostrich egg equals two dozen chicken eggs. My grandson asked "Do ostrich lay like our girls?" I know I can always get the answers here. Thanks

We are egg cited ..we have 4 ostrich eggs in our reptile pro 6000 incubator..we put them in a room with fresh air flow via two windows open, a ceiling fan and not latching door of incubator so humidity is running 25 in incubator and room 28. We are turning manually every 4 hours. We have them standing up and have small air sacs showing..looking good for size.. Been there 7 days so far..wish us luck!!! Thanks in advance !!
