    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 ❤

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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)

    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.
