Shipped Emu Hatching Egg

[Sneakyturtle]

My replacement emu egg for the bad egg arrived yesterday and I put it in the incubator today. Yesterday I switched the eggs over to my hovabator with a humidikit because my humidity was too inconsistent in the nurture right 360.

I updated my spreadsheet as well to make it easier to read now that I have 3 eggs:

Still have awhile to go before anything potentially hatches, but I should be able to start checking for signs of life in the first egg in about a week.

Nice job with the spreadsheets… you are very organized! Now we sit and wait…..

May Almighty God Bless these babies with good health - and Bless you with all abilities to care for them in a right & proper manner!

Well its been a week since my last update. These are what my weights are looking like now. Egg 3 is a little off but its still within safe parameters.

Egg 1 also has a slight tilt to it and it is warmer on the lower side and cooler on the higher side, where there is the air cell, which is a good sign. That supposedly means that there is an embryo in the egg, but I have seen posts on old emu hatching threads that this still happens a lot with eggs that are duds. Still have about 20 or so days until its due to hatch. The next thing to look for is an egg wiggle.

Exciting! I can’t wait for your next updates!

The first egg wiggled today! There were a couple times I thought I saw it wiggle before but I wasn’t sure because it was small. But today it definitely wiggled! It’s got about 7-8 days until it’s due to hatch.

What ever happened? Did they hatch?

I’m excited to know how your babies turned out! I am also wondering who were you buying white emu eggs from? There are lots of scams online so I want to be careful.

Did they hatch?

Yes, they actually did! Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been active on here in awhile. I ended up getting about 10 emu eggs from various places last year and 8 hatched.
