Emu Egg Hatch-along

Elkkk
Eggs sounds different now when I tap them
If I do try and roll they move right back so they are in position to start their journey
No internal pops yet but my guess is in the next 48 hours I should see something

I had one egg in the morning making scratching sounds
No peeps but I felt it hit the egg while in my hand
Was pretty cool
Second egg is now making scratching sounds
Must be getting close

Yay!! If they are tapping they are likely internally pipped. They don't peep always, but if you keep tapping/ talking/ whistling for a minute or so they should respond.

So exciting!!

I got peeps )))

Yay!! How many are peeping??

I got an external pip overnight. Looks like a standard gray. It's day 50. The other egg I am worried about. It lost much less weight than it should. In fact, they both weighed exactly the same when set and the externally pipped one lost a good 20% and this one has lost less than 15%. Such a huge difference. The other hasn't internally pipped and now I am starting to worry the lack of weight loss may have caused an issue or it's malpositioned.

Maybe the egg shell itself made the difference
And it will be a few days behind
Did you check it for movement again
2 of my 3 are internal
Day 49 now
Both these eggs were exact same size as well
My egg that’s 100 grams more hasn’t yet but still rocking but had more moisture needed to loose so thinking it will be a few days behind

That's a good point and reminder. I am trying not to worry. I am having flashbacks to the hatch in February where all 3 eggs wiggled, 2 hatched and the third slowing stopped wiggling and when I opened it the baby was malpositioned and trying to pip at the wrong end. Hoping that does not happen again. I am going to weigh it this morning and see how much it lost this last week. It is still wiggling though!

Did you have 4 eggs at one point?
