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

@@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.
@alinjohn5 5 ай бұрын
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.

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 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.
@amberlyrane8006 4 ай бұрын
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.
@gjmottet 4 ай бұрын
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.
@sage3255 4 ай бұрын
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
@azuradawn5683 4 ай бұрын
@@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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
