Drilling a hole in a living Egg... to save it

- Unless you know what you're doing, don't.
I have found a paper on 'safety holes'... very interesting.
One could argue that chicks that are not strong enough to get out of the egg by themselves should not survive. I have a different opinion.
To me all life is precious. So if I can save a chick by helping it, I will.
The 'safety holes' are used when incubating rear and endangered bird species. It increases the chances of survival in the fiercely process of hatching.
Yet one has to be extremely careful. It happens easily that a chick get's injured.
This video is about the hatching of my emu eggs, the second largest eggs in the world. (and the most beautiful ones :)
The first Emu chick got out all by himself. The second one needed a little help.

Seven weeks earlier:
For seven long weeks, I had no idea
If these eggs would contain life
They needed to loose 10% of their weight
So I checked them
Every egg every week
With a smaller egg it’s easy to check for life
This time that was impossible
Because the shell was way too thick to shine through
I didn’t see anything
Finally after seven weeks I could try the ‘water trick’
My hope was that at least one of the eggs was alive
And now, now I could finally find out
So, fingers crossed
Will they move?
Hmmm…
The first 4 eggs I tried, didn’t move at all
Nr 5
Oh yeahhh
And nr 6 as well!
Why always the last ones?
Some day’s later the most heartwarming thing happened
Did you see that?
The next day the reaction to my whistle became stronger
The next morning
Yes! First crack
I was very exited
Yet it took another day before it went further
Two days after the first crack, I thought now we were almost there
But it still went slow
And the other egg (nr 6) started to worry me
It was still reacting to me, yet lesser and weaker
The chick seemed to be too weak to crack the shell
Weaker chicks might die at this point
There isn’t much you can do
But I study eggs :)
And I had found a most interesting paper
A study on ‘safety holes’
The idea is simple: by very carefully making a little hole…
Inside the ‘air chamber’, the chick can breathe oxygen and gain strength
First I had to be sure on which side to drill, so I listened
Now I needed to work very carefully
I started at a natural spot
“Yes, yes, I know…”
The shell was a lot harder than I had thought it would be
It took surprisingly much effort
There is still a whole net of tiny blood vessels surrounding the chick
Loosing a drop of blood from one of them is not a problem
As long as I don’t shoot-out
Good… Now it can breathe
Almost immediately it sounded better, stronger
I used my phone to record its sound
When I returned at the incubator, the first chick was already out of its egg
So I put it in an old incubator to dry
The ‘safety hole’ proved to be very effective
So a short while later…
This one went a bot quicker now, but it still took some hours
Here are the highlights
In nature it would be under a giant bird right now
Over here it needs a little help to get rid of the last parts
So now I have two baby emus at home
Might need to look for a bigger house soon
More stories soon cool if you subscribe
The incubator I used is a MS incubator

Well that's a twist
Lololol I waited for dis comment
Thats sad
No, animals don't judge :)
He is mommy to them and nothing is gonna change that.
Him: whistles
Chick in egg: whistles back
Me: *happy noises*
Me too lol
Same game right here, I had the sameeee reactions DA BIRDYS ARE SO FLIPPING CUTE
I didn’t know they were born with feathers
Me too ♥️
Shawna Slagle IKR! DA BIRDIES SO COOT! YES!
That's awesome.I would have never thought that a baby bird or chicken would be making peep sounds in the egg.you can still learn something new everyday.
Aja
Surprised me too
So is the link meant to be there or not?
sameee!
@@sashascott6296 no
For all of you wondering how, after he explained that the safety hole allows the chick to gain more oxygen, the chick originally got air in the first place, well, the egg has tiny microscopic holes, enough to allow oxygen in. The blood vessels are actually pretty close to them, and can easily pick up oxygen to carry back to the chick.
Not to mention the air-sac in the egg, also. Great explanation, though!

Man: Whistles
Bird in Egg: Chirps to the same pattern as the whistle
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I WASNT READY
It's more like the human is whistling the same way emus do, I was thinking the same thing but realized it didn't make sense, birds don't just learn their chrip lol
Still it was so pretty
That’s mean to the animal
Zweks Auz yeah that was pretty obvious that he was mimicking an emus call but the fact that it was replying was absolutely adorable
@@cheesed-kun8445 yeah, super obvious, no way I would've thought otherwise *sweats*
Ikr!! I was like "omg my heart..."
He is like a pregnant woman talking to her baby. Too too cute how he talks to the chick in the egg - and it talks back! OMG just too much cuteness.
When the chicks were moving the shell, I thought of the Raptor hatching in Jurassic Park. And this man’s smile when the chick in 6 responded to his whistle… warms my heart after a bad day
I mean it isn't far off. Rattites are the closest living relatives to non-avian dinosaurs. They even still have a penis.
This channel is the purest channel ever
Peep, hi Hazel, Thanks :) peep
Your videos are really wonderful, especially this one
+A Chick Called Albert hi you are the best
Agreed
Hazel Boque yep
can we talk about how cute it is when the man hears the chick chirp back? he's so happy!
Hi
He even holds his heart my goodness
it's really cute
I'd be happy if I were a bird mother too
gggnarly yeah he's a good guy
We need more people on this planet like him
So many more 🥰
You're face when you hear her... sheer relief & the purest love 🥺🥺❤

Aaaaaaah
Lol
Jeje yes
The bird:its a monster! He will eat me
Bird: "Yeah"
Him: " what da"
I am french
the whistling and the reaction of the birds inside the egg is SO ADORABLE
True I can't how they say it back.....
That's how baby birds let their parents/siblings know they're ready to hatch. Maybe baby dinosaurs did the same?
IKR ESPECIALLY #6 i would have treated that one like my son
Kaelyn may I please ask, do you eat eggs 🥚
👩🏻💻
Kute
it's really cool to hear you and the chick whistle back and forth, it sounds like it's probably reassuring and comforting to the baby, plus it's just really cute.
I have two sun conures and they just hatched some eggs. When my female was sitting on the eggs she was constantly talking to the babies before they hatched. Now that they are all hatched she continues to talk to them. It’s adorable 🥰
Awww beautiful! Good luck with your new flock members. I have a hybrid Sun, I hope to breed her in a couple of seasons when she's ready ❤
@@RosieandFriends1 how many eggs and how many hatchlings?
@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 They laid three eggs and all three eggs hatched! The babies are two weeks old. 😁

This is a true labour of love. I raise chickens every year at work and honestly watching them hatch is one of the most amazing things there is. I think this year I will be showing my students some of your videos 🪺🥚🐣🐥
Thank you for your work in the lives of birds (and the humans you touch with your loving efforts!) ❤️
This channel is a fantastic watch, and a great resource for bird rescue❤
They may look small but remember they will grow to be able to defeat the Australian government one day so be wary.
D Ultimate wut
@@sir7277 I think that they are emus, the national bird of Australia.
Benjamin Wang I was talking about the great emu war
😂
He only has to train them well from egg they could communicate with him there's nothing missing other than the order to over throw the government
The guy's expression when he finally heard the bird chirp back to his whistle , priceless !
Ooooooooooooh
Yes!
How are U?
I'm good
And healthy
Do you mean "EGGspression"?
Idk I'm sorry
@@tayseerbakhit1006 did u reply to yourself?
I wish there were more people like you in this world who truly appreciate other living creatures and understand their importance in this world. You have a kind and caring heart.
the water trick continues to blow my mind 😮 I can’t believe I’d never heard of it til the first time I found this channel
Emus are so cute because instead of hatching as messes of flesh and sparse feathers they hatch as lil fluff balls.
Also they hatch from dragon eggs which is somehow simultaneously really awesome and a huge letdown
Haha
ToastTheWorld. Yay I was the 100th like
When the man whistle and the bird whistle back
The conversation is like ;-
Man : Hello are you there ?
Bird :yes I'm here !
*E*

@@andypandy932012 OMG, I remember that movie. I don't know the name, but it was one of my favorites.
Amazing Memo
Bird: YES FATHER, RELEASE ME SO I CAN EAT IM HUNGER AF
Its like
Man: are you alive
Bird: yes i am help me i need some air
I have chickens and hatched one last year, in my car, who had trouble, now he's with 6 siblings and loving life, amazing job
My dear fellow, i wish every creature could be met with such loving care as they enter this world as you give your little buddies. Thank you for sharing!🫶🏼

I was thinking the same. This is why Tom Scott, William Osman, Smarter Every Day, Emmy Made, and the like are not passing fads. They are so happy just sharing with the world what they love. It is so genuine in a world where so much is driven only by profit. These are the people TH-cam was made for.

Yea he helped like so much eggs
how bout you
The way it reacts to your whistle is so beautiful. I can just watch that clip a million times without getting bored. I had no idea that they could move and make sounds while in the egg. ❤️❤️
The look on your face when the chick replied back says it all. I can see how much you love these guys
That egg whistling is probably the sweetest sound you’ll ever hear! That man is incredibly nice!

I love the way the little hatchlings mimic the whistles you make! It’s so charming and endearing! I can’t figure out how you can let them go after they hatch and become strong enough to survive. I’d be so attached…
I love seeing how clumsy all the little babies are at first! It’s so cute!
hearing that sweet tiny peeping was wonderful. you are so lucky!! :) 🕊🪶🦉🦆
