I was having the same problem with my chicken eggs! They were fully developed but didn’t absorb the yolk sac and didn’t even try to hatch. I talked to some people and one guy said that it sounded like a temperature problem. Low temp will slow development and they die right before. I got an old-fashioned thermometer (not digital - they said digital are often incorrect) and sure enough it said my incubator was only around 96 degrees Fahrenheit, despite my incubator saying it was at 99.5. I turned the temp up a few degrees and am currently hatching some chicken eggs, hoping I found the problem… if you don’t have a second thermometer in there already, you should get one and see what it says.
With parrot babies it's the same. Temp too low they hatched underdeveloped. But aswell if temp is too high, there's the chance they hatch early and they are underdeveloped
Hope it goes smoothly this time around for you
@@AM-xf8mu I hatch parrot eggs too, they never hatch under the parents and I don’t know why maybe because I breed them indoors? I tried some high end incubators like Brensea and no success only a cheap Chinese incubator had some success in hatching some it had good ventilation so I came to the conclusion either breed them outside or use incubators with excellent ventilators. I’m still experimenting so if you have any insights please feel free to share.
This is just chicken info, but Look into building your own incubator from a styrofoam cooler, a water heater temperature wafer and a computer fan hooked to a keyless incandescent lightbulb. Then research dry incubation. I’ve found most people keep the humidity cranked WAY too high and the chicks drown or get stuck in the shell. Once I started only adding water when they pip, I get much better hatch rates.
Thanks for the tip!
They were fertilized eggs!! Huge improvement since last year.
Since the dad is either BERt or ErNIE, and it shares birthday with BEcky, that little fella should be named BERNIE :D
It's so adorable, sad to see all the other ones not making it but it just makes this little guy (or gal) extra special!
He is normal so it's bamboos
@@gren7061 it's not Bamboo's, watch the vid at 9:43 mark
@@nabojsa the white and the blonde ones are from bert or Ernie, the normal ones must be from bamboo since he is normal
No
It's common for animals with Special colours to be able to have children of the original/wild kind
Just a suggestion!
Please don't open or take the eggs out of the incubator unless it's necessary. Not all eggs can withstand temperature change. Bear in mind that different eggs have different agility towards incubators and temperature. Nevertheless, seeing that the dead birds were developed around 80%, and theb unexpected death means that there was temperature change in them. Don't forget that you're dealing with exotic birds from very hot places.
The same goes with peacock eggs.
Love your videos.
Happy birthday 🎉
I can for sure tell you that, that is the exact reason, he would of said he was talking them out almost every day to check which is a no no. I know he's excited but he should be more patient
This was my exact thought. Leave the eggs alone
This was my first thought immediately into the first minute of the video!
No, if anything not enough variation . Incubators are constant , female emu is not . Goose , peacocks and emu all have problems when incubating at a constant temperature .
@@jeffreylong9405 not when it's in a completely different (aka WAY COLDER) Environment.
Make sure to socialize (supervised of course) this baby emu with the other emus early on so it does not end up imprinted on people and unable to breed in the future.
I wonder if that’s why Bamboo doesn’t want to mate
CONGRATULATIONS on hatching your first Emu chick.. And Happy Birthday Becky..
It's Mothering Sunday here in the UK, so HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY too..
BRAVO all, here's my very best wishes to you all, in hopes of more chicks successfully hatching..
I breed reptiles, and I have learned my lesson of taking eggs out of the incubator due to impatience. For snakes even after fully developed in the last week - it leads to deaths, unabsorbed yolks, and twisted umbilical cords. I would advise perhaps trying to leave them completely alone until they pip. The constant taking them out may be what's killing them if they are developing normally prior to this.
Except you can't leave them alone because you need to watch their progress to know if you need to change the temperature or humidity, also to see if there's anything even developing.
I had the same thought, I breed quail and once in lock down you don't touch the eggs. They will sometimes make you wait up to a week past the hatch date too. I recently hatched out chicks 6 days past the hatch date and all but one was healthy though they had me nervous for quite a while. Maybe something is different with bigger birds, but the chick that did hatch looked sticky which comes from changes in temperature and humidity while hatching resulting in the membrane getting stuck.
I think the reason they opened the egg was because it had stopped moving/making noise, along with the fact emus are known for having trouble hatching due to their very thick eggshells, so it was obvious something was wrong
@@sage3255 Opening the egg if you need to isn't what they're talking about - they're talking about messing with the eggs before that point. Moving them in and out of the incubator changes the temp/humidity and can be harmful. It's best to leave eggs alone up until the very very end.
I've hatched both bearded dragon eggs and ducks/geese/emus..
The two are incubated completely differently.
My friend hatches out emus and ostrich. You need to not take them out all the time to check. Taking them out so much shocks the chick
Did he take them out more times than the other 2 times he DID hatch Emus?
@@carolynnr.6409 actually I think he did because he was so nervous before he only took them out to weigh them and as it was closer to hatch day I think he left them alone. He took these out every day.
@@carolynnr.6409 sometimes one time is all it takes. Temp difference of 5 degrees can be fatal
Very true it could kill them inside moving the egg a lot
Always drill a hole when they start peeping just to be safe. Also next time don't move incubators, flip the other ones by hand if u have to until you see them start to hatch/crack out and then move them. They are very sensitive
Bamboo is breeding! That makes me soo happy! ❤
Bamboo wasn't the father :(
I thought that at first too, but remember- he wouldn't breed, and it is still possible to have a standard even with lighter parents.
its been 5 years already??? man it seems like just yesterday bamboo was hatched and the kids r getting so big! time really flies!!!
Congratulations on your first home breed emu ;) Been watching since TH-cam gave me your random video years ago when Bamboo first hatched (and I have never experienced farm life in my family but it's been fun watching you all through the years so know you share joy with people who don't nessasarily share a similar lifestyle ;) ) Hoping more will hatch for you soon
I’m so glad to watch these emus grow up with you
Happy birthday Becky. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful family. You have incredible patience and are such a hard working mama. Truly an inspiration.
Stop taking them out to check them everyday and you will have success! I know you are nervous and excited, but the temp change..they just can't take it! Also get a second thermometer just to double check the temperature is reading correctly. You MUST stop taking the eggs out. I promise you, toy will have success when you just trust the process. When you want to check, so something else. Establish a routine to help you avoid bringing them out. Congrats on the new baby emu! I'm so very happy for you that one of them was successful! Here's to the future and more babies!!
How beautiful life is and full of sorrow. We fight to survive, to be born, to thrive. To see animals and children being born is so humbling. I appreciate life being born and reflect on what it all means as you release great videos. Thanks for all that you do
You should call him shoot since bamboo is its dad
Bamboo wasn't the father :(
I thought that at first too, but remember- he wouldn't breed, and it is still possible to have a standard even with lighter parents.
So happy that there is finally a baby emu again 🎉
Happy Birthday Becky 🎂 🥳
And Little emu
To be honest you need a bit of a more precise incubator for emu I think. You should try and get over to someone who hatches a few emu and pick up a few little tips. I feel they look like the temperature is a little low.
Just a quick suggestion or tip is to not take them out of the incubator unless absolutely necessary. Even so close to hatching taking them out can cause a quick death.
The baby emus are so cute. I’m happy that your diligence paid off. 🙂
Don’t let your daughter get ahold of them!
Omg, I have been watching your channel for years now and you finally did it! Baby emu’s! I wanna see them so bad! ❤❤
Is it a live stream or a video
Live
I have literally been online waiting for this!!!!! I have checked several times a day everyday since your last video. I'm so tickled! I needed to smile. It's been a bad day. Our 6 yr old cat became sick. 😢 So worried! Prayers for our "Titty"
Now all he has to do to know if it is a true emu is to show the emu an Australian and see if it attacks the Australian.

Lol
😂😂
I just did that.@@jenniferr2057
Emu war 2.0
So you just gotta find the key to them absorbing their yolks for your customers and your next batches. We need answers. Maybe humidity needs to change before hatching or something to do with moving them too late in development. I don't know. God bless!🌱🌾
Like many other commenters suggest
Try leaving your eggs sit in the incubator until absolutly necessary 😅
Dont move then untill they start to hatch out on their own.
Temperature is the main issue from the looks of things
Such a precious little miracle! Congrats on the new cutie. Happy birthday, Becky! I'll have my fingers crossed for more successfull hatchings.
They're gonna be adorable!!!!!!😊😊
So glad you have 1 so far. Hope the birds can hatch out a couple.
As some others have already said you need to not take the eggs out almost every day and to be patient. Even the slightest temperature change can do damage. Also, check to see if the incubator is at the perfect temperature. The fact that so many were basically almost fully developed but just couldn't finish absorbing the yolk sac and cross the finish line says quite a bit about potential issues to solve in the future.
It feels like just yesterday I was watching bamboo hatch out and crawl around with Eli 😢😊
Congratz on hatching an emu egg! I know its been a lot of hard work and patience. But it has all paid off! So happy for you all!❤️❤️❤️😊
Emu's are so precious and loving when they are young . So excited to see more from Ernie's nest ❤❤❤❤
I’ve seen this before. It helps if you drill a hole a few days before they hatch. So they can get oxygen. Sometimes there isn’t enough.
OOOOOH my goodness! this was the first video I watched this morning .. SO adorable!!! I'm so sorry for the loss's but so thankful for this little one.. And excited for all those other eggs! Looking forward to seeing how it goes.. We got our emus for our farm after watching your videos a few years ago.. :)
Awesome with the new baby!! LoL don't let him/her imprint on you like before. Love your channel!! Happy Birthday Becky 🍰
He WAS the first and had no siblings with no other Emus to imprint with.
How precious! New life! Thank you so much for sharing with us this precious moment.
Hello, we are two children 10 and 8 years old and we live in Quito Ecuador.
We’ve seen your videos and we love them!. We have also learned a lot from the information you share in your videos.
We have tried to incubate in a very homemade way, that is using a cardboard box and a light bulb, but the experiment has not worked.
That is why we would also like to benefit from an incubator that you are giving away to achieve this beautiful project of incubating and continuing to learn.
Even with the sadness of the loss of the other eggs, it is still wonderful that you got one to hatch such cuteness. 🎉❤
6:44 Every part of me wants to reach in there and help the little dude out. Lol
We had geese on the farm, and it took so long for them to have good eggs that would hatch. But when they did hatch, it was so exciting to have baby geese again! I'm so happy for you to have baby emus again!
I'd like to put a comment because I was starting to incubate eggs for the first time, and watching lots of videos from lots of different people in the world, and your way to save chicks is the best. And it doesn't mean you can't go further helping them if it is not enough, but it's the best way to start. A big thank you!
You should check out A Chick Called Albert.
Can't hit that like button hard enough or fast enough. Congrats on the little stripy baby! Make sure to bring it to the other emus to start socializing it so there is not a repeat of Bamboo and his species misidentification. Holding it while working with the adults or perhaps, if the weather is favorable enough, letting it walk on the other side of the fence would hopefully be enough. What a wonderful birthday gift, your first home bred emu. Happy belated birthday.
Congrats White House family! 🥳
Thank you for sharing this very emotional EMUs update video
Im so happy you get to have a new emu!!! And more exciting it was from your own now. All the years were worth it.
So precious!
What a great present for Becky. Happy birthday and a great triumph for you guys, so happy you finally got a Emu
Congratulations! So happy for you!
Its so cute! Love the coloring of it
been here since before bamboo and now I get to see the next gen, how beautiful
WAHOO!!!! And I literally think that should be the baby emu’s name, celebrating your success!
Congrats on your first own emu hatching!!! And happy birthday Becky!! 🎉
This emu will get so much love❤❤❤
Happy Birthday Becky, and congratulations on the birth of the new Emu!! 🌺🎂🍧🎉🎊🎈
Happy Birthday, Becky!!! happy Birthday, Baby Emu❤❤❤ WOW! when they get going, they really go!!!!! ❤❤❤
Congrats on the baby emu! Wonderful!🤗
Grats on your hatched emu finally, they are so cute. And happy birthday :)
I have been waiting for this day for weeks 🎉🎉
CONGRATS on the newest addition to the flock, and I hope you have many more in the future! 🎊🎉🎊🎉
Happy Birthday dear, it's great to see new life...
Adorable and I’m so happy for all of you, finnaly an emu chick from an egg from you emu’s❤
I remember when I watched the emu hatching so many years ago and it was so amazing. Congrats on your new infant. ❤️
Baby looks a lot like uncle Bamboo at that age. Congrats!
Very exciting. So happy for you.
So exciting. Hopefully you have more this season
Overjoyed to see your video today. I love you all so much. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful life of hard work and family unity. God bless you all!
Thank you for sharing!! So exciting
It’s so cute!
Been waiting on the eggs! 🎉 checking for video posts. Can’t wait. So glad you got one!
How exciting! We have an Emu!!! . Sure missed you guys last week I was having withdrawals.!!! Hopefully you will get a couple more.
Happy Birthday Becky and to the new baby as well. ..
I have been excitedly checking for an update each day so glad to see the new baby
Ohhhhh finally! Congratulations! I hope for great health of all your animals and family!
Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉
I follow you many years now and I am really happy that one emu hatched already .. hopefully many to follow……
Truly magical, my mallard hen recently hatch 7 beautiful babies and i watched the first baby hatch under her, it was an amazing experience
Fantastic I’m so pleased to see you finally got one!
It’s disheartening to lose them before hatching, particularly just a few days before because they hadn’t absorbed the yolk. But take the positives from it,
you’re now getting fertile eggs! Hopefully more baby emus to come😁🤞
I just love your channel, thank you so much for sharing..
I was really looking forward for news about the eggs, sad for a few that didn’t make it but happy you got 1 at least. Maybe avoid so much opening of the incubator and check temperature, but at least there is some progress. 👍🏻
I won't be here for the premiere I'll definitely watch it later can't wait to see new babies
same
Beautiful congratulations fam
Yay!!!! I’m so happy you just made my day!! How exciting to see a new baby hatched from your birds!!
I'm so sorry for the loss of those little emus, it is hard to witness all of that movement and the peeping and then have something happen to cause them to die. The healthy baby certainly does lighten that loss! S/he is adorable!
Agreed. I was pretty stressed for about a week waiting for something to happen.
Congratulations, thanks for sharing. I'm so sorry about the ones that you lost, but we are hopeful that your emus are able to procreate. ❤
Hi Jake and crew! Congratulations on 2 baby emus! 1 st one is likely Bamboo and Peakaboo’s and 2 nd one is Bert’s and Peakaboo’s can’t wait to see how the adults act around them. God bless you and family and your beautiful farm.
Happy Birthday 🎁🎊🎉🎈🎂 Emu and Becky
I started watching your videos after I came across Bamboo’s video! Can’t believe that you have hatched out your very first Emu, 5 years later!!! So happy for u guys
I have been waiting and checking every single day! I am so excited!
Was waiting on this video. Sad that the other eggs were so close to hatching but something happened. But so happy for you to get another bamboo ❤ congrats! Can’t wait to see more emu egg hatching content 🐣
I’m so happy you got a new hatchling!
It’s adorable 🥰
Good show as always thank you kindly
Seeing the eggs move gives me dinosaur vibes 😂
So cute!!!
Congratulations!
That's adorable
Happy Birthday!!! Hope the eggs hatch ❤❤❤
Congratulations on the new edition
So excited one Emu !!
How cool is that?
Great video guys. Love the whole family theme!
