I have seen a post on an emu facebook page where someone bought large wooden eggs and painted them the color of emu eggs and that worked.

I put 3 in on 1/17 and 3 in on 2/2. They could be any colors, 3 are from my blonde pair and 3 are from a breeder's blonde/white pen. Last year most of the eggs I hatched hatched around day 50-53.

I have 6 eggs in the incubator. 3 from my own emus and 3 from a breeder. I have only found four eggs from my own emus and one was stinky so I didn’t try to hatch that one. The eggs went in the incubator in mid January, so it’ll be awhile before they hatch. My emus live in a 2.5 acre pasture and...

It’s hard to tell until they get further along. Weight loss seems good. I think the earliest I saw one wiggle was about 35 days or so.

Here is a pic from yesterday of some of them! I posted a picture or two of emu babies in the emu hatchalong thread that Pyxis started last year.

My emus live in a 2.5 acre pasture and I have gotten busy lately and wasn't checking for eggs as much as I should have. Its currently 7 degrees where I live and my partner was going around checking on all the emus and couldn't find my oldest male. He found him hidden in a patch of tall grass...

If you have Facebook, join the emu owners group. I have seen some threads about this over there. I don’t mix my own, I just feed mazuri maintenance and kalmbach breeder/grower.

I saw this video on YouTube of how to vent sex an emu chick:

Hatched a white baby two days ago from a shipped egg!

2 out of 6, so not great, but they were shipped and it was my first time hatching geese so I’m okay with it.

I am hatching goose eggs for the first time and I was wondering how long it generally takes from pip to zip? I have one egg that pipped about 24 hours ago and it hasn't started zipping yet. Today is day 28.
