How do you hatch emu eggs with emu male?

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.


How do you treat baby emus with a splayed leg?

If the baby emu has a permanently splayed leg, then it has formed that way as a result of being sat on too hard, for too long, by the parent emu. There is nothing that can be done to correct this, but if the bird can still move around, it will learn to adapt.
