I find it amusing that the only way to slow down the comments on this forum is for someone to put up an emu cam haha this will give everyone a chance to catch up on the comments (if they can get away from the emu cam)

Is the emu hatching out of the small end of the egg or is there no "small end" with emu?

I was wondering the same thing...

Is everyone enjoying the emu cam? : )

Do ya think?? Let that puppy go off air again, and you'll have a virtual riot on your hands!!

I have a hatching question for all you pro's. I took the fan out of my Hova Bator 1602 (it was a computer fan I bought online), I had it installed the wrong way (I think), and was having some issues with my hatches. So I decided to take it out and go still air. I got some extra thermometers, in case temp was part of my issue. I have 2 digital thermometer/hydrometer combo's and 1 probe in a "water wiggler". I know with still air you want the temp to be 102. So do I want the wiggler temp to be 102, or 99.5?

I have the same incubator. I don't use a water wiggler, but you want the temperature to be 101.5 (102 is fine) on top of the eggs.

So I officially have a broody bantam hen. She has been more on the nest than off the past week and the past 2-3 night slept on the nest. I just took 2 eggs out from under her and let me tell you she was not happy

.

I know a lot of you are wishing for broodies right now, but I soooooooo did not want a broody this early in the year. Agh what to do with her now.
