Yesterday one of my emu eggs was rocking and rolling, wiggling like crazy. I last checked on it around 10ish pm and went to bed. Woke up this morning to do a wiggle test and it hasn't wiggled in 10 hours now. Is it normal for them to stop wiggling right before hatch? I'm worried I lost it overnight.
 
It could just be sleeping in there, or getting into the hatching position, etc. I wouldn't worry too much just yet.
 
Honestly I probably wouldn't worry unless it doesn't hatch when it's supposed to. Sometimes they just don't wiggle any more. Some eggs that are alive and hatch never wiggle at all.
