When do I start weighing Incubated Emu Eggs?

[juliefpc]

I have searched high and low including the emu bible, when should I start weighing my emu eggs that are now being incubated two days ago? I have the initial weigh in. Thx for help.

If you have their original weight, you can weigh at any time but I like to wait about a week to 10 days.
This is true for any eggs.
Shoot for about 1.5 gram loss per day for a 500 gram egg. Keep in mind that weight loss isn't linear. A little more will be lost at the beginning and the end.

TY !! very much ChickenCanoe, I cant wait for my first weigh in this coming Friday. Knowing me I will do it Thursday night lol. I weighed in lbs and ounces as these emu eggs weighed in so heavy but I can easily convert to metric. I will post here after the weigh in. I had started another thread hoping to start a hatch a long for emus for this year but so far, no input. Where are all our emu egg incubating people lol?
