Well end of day 53 I opened the air cells and no babies at all My bstor did spike to 110 on me in the first few days I think it killed any cells that would have started The lady I got eggs from hatched before and after me as well as the one other person she sold to before me A little...

I’m trying to catch up I never make a safety hole in an egg unless there is internal pip or a bruise happens outside the air cell and then I will make a pin hole in the middle of the bruise Some of those eggs look far from hatching There is way to much liquid and room yet The deep shadowing...

@Pyxis I did a short video of the tap test today These eggs were really tilted a few days ago Now 3 are almost not tilted at all and one still has a bit bigger tilt not like it was though Still warm at one end abd cools at air cell end

36.3

I’m on day 50 and have yet to see any wiggles The eggs did start to tilt around 2-3 weeks are not as tilted since day 48 I smell them and nothing bad No leaking They have all lost the exact same amount of weight and are about 14.5 % of total loss But have a few days left If I take them out...

Sorry to hear baby passed It’s one of those things that we can’t always control You tried to help baby

They are not needing to be active while absorbing Keeping warm and keeping the yolk from drying out is most important No wet paper towels as that chills them Put a little piece of kitchen wrap over the bottom half of baby and then dry paper towel over that Leave baby be to rest and absorb...

These two had ligament issues though Splayed if dealt with properly can work Make sure to give extra vitamin B complex

Thank you

I would mix dish soap in with warm water Use a cloth or cotton ball dunked in the mixture to wipe her down I wouldn’t dunk her in the water as the first few days they shouldn’t get really wet Could just do sections and then let her dry Paper towel will help to absorb the wet area abd back...

I’m looking forward to the new place ;) Spring clean is always terrible I clean my coop daily so it’s never bad but the indoor / outdoor feed area I do twice a year Today was the day for that Oh my word it was awful 😞 Snow couldn’t get in but frost from waters abd ice ect melted and caused...

I also have not seen this Do the hips feels different Wondering where it’s turned backwards Did it have trouble hatching ?

Germ is fully healed. His beak will never be perfect but the wounds healed and they don’t affect him from daily life I’m very excited for my acreage I still have my emu eggs in the bator at day 41. I had bought them 2 days before I saw the add to rescue the other two Hopefully I get some to...

I haven’t updated in a long time So much has happened lately we bought an acreage with 16 acres We have the keys and have slowly been moving in but it’s a 3 hour drive I had rescued 2 little emu babies and after my vet and massage guy tried all we could to save them when the growth spurt...
