yes we should!!  where do you get them?


Welcome!!!!  I hear good about that bator!! good for you!!  What breeds are you going to hatch? 

sweet

I ordered them from Kayala Emu Estate (think I spelled that right). I Googled "fertile emu eggs for sale" and they were the second or third option. Very well packed, and they'll send your eggs from unrelated breeding pairs

Edited to add: Its actually Kalaya Emu Estate. I was close

Yeppers, thats them! They weren't the cheapest option I found, but I've seen others have had excellent results from their hatching eggs. And the good packaging and eggs being from unrelated pairs are totally worth a few extra bucks!

I'll enjoy seeing how your hatch goes! 

We'll enjoy together, because honestly, other then following some set guidelines, I have no idea what I'm doing

Quote: About all I know is mark who came out of which shell, you can send the shell fragments somewhere (I think with blood on it) and the sex can be determined rather than waiting.

I'm certain you will do just fine!

Thanks y'all. I think I'm going to try vent sexing them. It sounds much easier then with chickens, no squeezing involved. Just some gentle kneading (that sounds terrible ).
