Wiggling Emu Eggs

[Aunt Angus]

I have been waiting to see how number two does. Hatched Thursday morning though and looking a bit stronger every day!

I have given up my fav pajama pants because #2 loves pecking at the horses on them so we put a little feed on the horses to get some food going in. A little wry neck going on initially, but it's much better now.

A nearby local breeder just sent video of one of two eggs I’m hoping will become my babies …. One is wiggling! I’m so excited - hatch date March 9!

We find ourselves with 14 more eggs that were under dads. Today is Day 60 so we had little hope that they would be alive, but one hatched this morning and 9 of the others have audible heartbeats.

I did a few safety holes before second guessing if that was a good idea. One of the ones that got a safety hole yesterday is the one that hatched overnight. Should they all get safety holes or is that a bad idea? The one that hatched is a little lethargic.
