To hatch emu eggs with the involvement of a male emu, first, ensure the eggs are collected from a healthy female and are fertile. Place the eggs in an incubator set to around 97-100°F (36-38°C) with a humidity level of approximately 25-30%. If allowing the male emu to incubate the eggs, place them in a suitable nesting area where he can take care of them, as male emus are known to incubate and care for the eggs themselves. The incubation period lasts about 50-55 days, during which the male will periodically turn the eggs and maintain optimal conditions.
