Thats awesome celtic! How many eggs total do you have incubating?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

There are 6 Emu eggs in there right now, dozens of duck eggs and the entire top tray is full of goose eggs currently.

My humidity has dropped to 30 so I've upped it. But it's working. Both Sebbie eggs air cells have dropped a teeny weeny bit.

Those are very helpful videos, Celtic.

I should say that when I said that the live eggs should float I just meant air cell up, like with your emu egg (as opposed to lying flat on the bottom like an unincubated egg).

I've read a bunch of float tester people that have accidentally killed the babies when they failed the float test. So I don't think it's 100 percent. Maybe it's like 70%. Bwah ha ha ha ha.

I'm so excited! I can see them both moving around in there. It might sound nutty, but one of them is WAY more active than the other. So I'm hoping boy and girl. LOL. Might be pushing my luck there.

I got on here hoping Utah might come along.. nothing yet.
