@Pyxis has a lot of experience with emus. I don't know many people with Ostrich, but perhaps their response can be informative enough to assist.

This sounds like a temperature problem...Excessive temps can cause late stage , in egg death....My suggestion is turn the heat down....Many ranchers run machines at 97.5 f....I personally run mine at 96.8 and 15 %humidity...This causes chicks to hatch a little later but I do not have as much late stage die off...Any temp above 98 will give you nasty results...Hope this helps...
