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.

How long does it take for an emu egg to hatch in incubation as mine has been in now for 56 days?

It takes exactly 8 weeks for a emu egg to hatch, & they should be incubated at a steady temp of 96-97 degrees. If incubated at a higher temperature, the chicks will have trouble getting out of the egg. This is because the egg shell hardens.

Which emu hatches the eggs male or female?

It takes about 50 days to hatch an Emu egg. The male usually picks out where he wants the hen to lay the eggs. She will lay one egg every three days and when she has 6 to 8 eggs in the nest he will brood. The male sits on the eggs not the female.

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.
