Hi! We currently have 4 emu eggs in our incubator (we're first timers). Temperature is set to 37.7C and humidity is typically between 35% and 43%. We're now on day 55 and are surprised not to see more signs of imminent hatching (our understanding is this is a few days overdue given our incubation temperature).
Cumulative egg weight loss has been between 15.5% and 18.7%. All 4 eggs have distinctly warmer and cooler ends after being taken out of the incubator for a few minutes, they all roll when set down, and they all lean to one end. Slight movement has been seen from several of the eggs but no big rocking movements (we also don't take the eggs out too often to check). We haven't heard any sounds from any of the eggs.
What gives? Do we just need more patience? Is there anything we can or should do? We were expecting to have hatched out by now, or at least seen some rocking and heard whistling!
