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 behind some trees sitting on at least 3 eggs. He wouldn't let my partner take the eggs from him, so we just decided to leave him sitting on the eggs for now. I'm not sure how long he has been sitting on them or how many eggs there are total. Should I try to take the eggs from him and incubate them myself? Is it safe for him to be sitting out in 7 degree weather on eggs?
