Look at those colors! Gorgeous little quacker...

Isn’t the waiting hard? Hatching some, waiting for maturity, picking your breeders, hatching some more eggs... rinse and repeat.

Just a quick emu update, I also posted to my thread in that forum...

3 out of our 4 eggs are still wiggling , day 46. I expect we’ll start having hatching action mid to late week next week.

Here are videos of the eggs doing their things. As I said in the other thread.. Sorry for the laughing chickens in the background, and even moreso for the BF who is encouraging them with his whistle!

Glad you have some wiggling! My husband said with my paitence maybe I should just breed quail... so basiclly he told me to buy quails

13 of 22 made it to Lock down. I lock down on day 17 due to having early hatchers before. So these eggs were from our own flock. they all should be some sort of Olive eggers.

Two CLs and 1 Birchen Marans have hatched this morning, with 3 pips!

Anxiously waiting for a wiggle!

Only have 4 Silver Spitzhaubens left to hatch. Don’t remember what day we’re on

When are the emus supposed to hatch?

We want to do quail next but I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can build their cages.

I have a second baby, and others hatching later in the week, but the first baby is a night older, and I am letting the new hatcher dry, in a separate incubator, the older baby I have in my shirt sleeve while on the computer, I will give it egg yolk to sip on, but for now it is snuggling and sleeping.

The one hatched last night was quiet all night, I don't know if hubby knew it hatched.

sorry for the poor quality. This little one hatched this morning. Our first silkie chick. And of course I have a question, another egg looks like it maybe hatching and if so, it is face down. I don’t see any other pips or zips. Do I open the incubator up and turn it right side up or leave it be? I don’t want to mess up the temp or humidity but don’t want to lose a baby.
