Poor Bert, such a hard working daddy keeping the eggs warm. It would have been awesome to have had one hatch, to see how he would have took care of the baby. Your farm is beautiful, busy ❤

@brandypage62 Ай бұрын

Poor Bert. If you have a small enough Emu, you could slide one under him. He's working so hard. 🥺

@NancieGreen-qv4uv Ай бұрын

aww, thats cute and sad

@candicerunyon2762 Ай бұрын

This a sad for poor Bert. . . just my own thoughts, but our late fall early winter is Australia's spring and summer. I think its way too cold for him to properly set on the eggs well enough to hatch them. Can you make him a raised nesting platform in a enclosed mini shelter in the barn so that he can keep them contained and a better consistent temprature? Can you separate him and release the two babies with him if none of the others hatch?I think I recall that was your plan's.

@ensign17 Ай бұрын

I want the eggs to hatch soo bad underneath the emu. It’s been like a rollercoster with these Emu eggs. I’m glade the two hatched. It would be nice to see how the emu care for there young.

@MrsStrawhatberry Ай бұрын

I was wondering how they could even hatch with freezing temperatures. In Aus it’s never this cold where they breed.

@KekPafrany Ай бұрын

I was thinking about the same thing: maybe they need some warmer place for winter if they are brooding on eggs. I guess the floor is cold even if Bert rarely get up from the nest.

@dannie1989 Ай бұрын

i was thinking the same thing, even tassie doesnt get that cold

@noahgraham5912 Ай бұрын

You’d think that would be something they’d think about. It’s all I’ve been thinking for the past few years when they try to hatch them. Eggs would do much better in an incubator.

@MrsStrawhatberry Ай бұрын

@@noahgraham5912 Same! I mean they took a few eggs out to incubate them but I honestly doubt the Emu could breed a single one just with his body heat. The ground is frozen through.

@MarSmiles Ай бұрын

I really hope that at least two to four of the remaining eggs hatch. Bert needs the victory of live baby emus hatching underneath him. How many hours do you think he has spent brooding at this point.

@gubjorggisladottir3525 Ай бұрын

These difficulties the Emu are having... do you have any inkling about why it is? Are the birds just too young still, or is it the environment where you live? (Too cold?) The former will fix it self next year or later... the later you need to find a way too fix the problem (heatlamp or heatmat that gives better insulation)

in the other video there were like 3-4 or probably more emu eggs that developed into Chicks but sadly didn't make it, leaving only two of those (in the incubator) to hatch.

next time, try placing the eggs in a bowl of warm water when they are that close to hatching, and it will be a lot easier to tell if there is movement. the egg will rock back and forth if the chick is alive.

are you afraid the other emus will be aggressive to the babies if they are with bert while bert is sitting? do you plan that once all the eggs are done to give them the babies and separate them away? think it would be amazing to see some daddy emu action and would be rewarding to bert to know there are babies for all his hard work.

The one thing about color mutations in animals that people work hard to make sure they're viable, the less natural abilities they have to breed/hatch. I see it a lot in snake videos. Ones that are genetically diverse and have no mutations will have a 98% viability rate hatching by themselves, and that would also be 98% hatch rate through all the eggs. Where as, those of color mutations will go on to be assisted hatches, because through each generation, the hatches are assisted and they lose the ability to hatch on their own.

If there's too much rooster, will chicken stock from the bones work? Males are leaner and usually a lot of people like to use them for chicken broth. Maybe Asian Markets there might like it because these are free range and home grown. Just a thought.
