Tracking Rhea Incubation and chick rearing

[shamorunner]

5 eggs. One was cracked beforehand. Two infertile. One was weak and didn't make it, I stopped turning day 33 that may have been a contributor. One egg hatched but only made it to week 2.5, heat issue as summer temps spiked and cause the area to heat up too much while at work

Batches 2 and 3 are learning batches now due to temp issues and a male was "incubating" for 1.5 weeks the 3rd batch

Working on 2nd batch starting at 14. Had temp issues past 4 weeks between 92-95°, majority of all eggs have been growing with most working to hatch as of current

Working on 3rd batch of 12 in incubator but turning three times a day by hand. Several eggs were kicked from the initial nest, one had an air pocket on the side, two were spoiled. One was in nest but cracked internally but not the exterior of the egg shell to allow bacteria
