No emu eggs over here! Selling a few of the adults as punishment for not producing. Well not really… just don’t need seven emus 😂

She looks like a pullet 😊 No color is visible in the comb.

Bummer :( You can always try to find hand raised chicks in your area. There are normally a couple people in any given area hatching and selling chicks through April and May. Unless you like the hatching part too, which I understand.

Thank you for the update! It always stinks seeing that a chick made it a ways into development and then died. I’m going to guess it was probably a combination of temps too high and smaller incubator. I first started hatching with a small incubator and quickly found out a cabinet incubator is...

I would give it a few more days. But with no movement in any eggs, that’s not a good sign. Doesn’t mean that they’re for sure not alive but it leans in that direction. Another important thing with emu eggs is they need fresh air daily. They release a lot of carbon dioxide, so opening the...

Good morning! If my math is correct, 37.7C is 99.8F. That’s a bit warm for emu eggs. The warmest I’ve seen my incubator is just shy of 97.7F. Which put the eggs at 49 to 50 days for hatch. I dont have experience with that warm of incubator temps for emu eggs. You should see some movement as...

@casportpony Not this year :( The emus laid a total of 6 eggs this season. They stopped laying 6 weeks ago. 3 eggs started to stink and 2 chicks died at hatch so far. So everything is out of whack. 1 egg left.

Mine really aren’t laying either 🤨 6 eggs total and 2 started to stink.

If these darn emus would lay I’d join! One female has laid only 6 eggs this season so far. The younger female hasnt laid at all. The last egg from the older female was over 3 weeks ago 😕 Only 4 of the eggs are left in the incubator. Two started to stink. 🤞🏻

It’s fine for him to sit on the eggs in those temps. The question is, do you want to ensure the eggs hatch? Some younger males will just go and get off the eggs too early. Also, do you want hand raised chicks, or emu raised chicks?

Oops! The last one I uploaded was of a different head lol

I had a hen that got tangled up in emu feet. Snapped a leg. She was splinted up and put in a small duck house so she could recover. Splint was too tight and her foot turned green by the second day. Loosened the splint and waited. Surprisingly, she made a full recovery and only lost one toe on...

If you can record it’s sounds, we can tell you what it is.

Can you feel down at the base of its neck/breastbone area? If it’s a female, there will be a deflated sack. If it’s male, it will just be breastbone. Ultimately, the best way to sex an emu is by sound. Males can’t and don’t drum or boom. Only grunt.

Female in early breeding season.

I’m with Pyxis in this one. The description of the sounds it’s making, lean more towards female than male. The males grunt and growl, as they don’t have the big pouch that the females have for drumming. Happen to have a video or recording of the behavior? Both males and females act a little...

Get off the cheeks and do stuff every day! Don’t need a new year to make changes.

Your suspicions are correct. 100% cockerel.
