Does the emu male keep the egg warm?

Yes. The male emu builds the nest, and incubates the eggs. Once the female emu lays her eggs, she has nothing more to do with them. The male looks after the young chicks once they hatch. Once emu chicks are old enough, they forage along side their father, seeking food such as insects, and fresh vegetation.

How does an emu egg hatch?

Probably the same way every other egg hatches. Emu eggs are incubated and hatched by the male emu. Also, the male may incubate the eggs of several females within the same nest. During the time he sits on the eggs, his metabolic rate slows, he does not eat or drink at all, and he stands just a couple of times each day to roll and turn the eggs. Average incubation of emu eggs takes around 8 weeks.
