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 ❤

[@brandypage62]

Poor Bert. If you have a small enough Emu, you could slide one under him. He's working so hard. 🥺

[@NancieGreen-qv4uv]

aww, thats cute and sad

[@MrsStrawhatberry]

I was wondering how they could even hatch with freezing temperatures. In Aus it’s never this cold where they breed.

[@KekPafrany]

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.

[@dannie1989]

i was thinking the same thing, even tassie doesnt get that cold

[@noahgraham5912]

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.

[@MrsStrawhatberry]

@@noahgraham5912 Same! I mean they took a few eggs out to incubate them but I honestly doubt the Emu could breed a single one just with his body heat. The ground is frozen through.

[@candicerunyon2762]

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.

[@ensign17]

I want the eggs to hatch soo bad underneath the emu. It’s been like a rollercoster with these Emu eggs. I’m glade the two hatched. It would be nice to see how the emu care for there young.

[@MarSmiles]

I really hope that at least two to four of the remaining eggs hatch. Bert needs the victory of live baby emus hatching underneath him. How many hours do you think he has spent brooding at this point.

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

I'm just glad you have a second one to keep the first one company growing up. Hopefully one or two under Bert will still hatch. He deserves something for all of his effort.

[@gregnant1987]

Poor Bert, he's trying his best. At least you were able to get another emu from the incubator :)

[@briancaleb6503]

Wishing them luck maybe something from the last 5

[@leonicneon7478]

This helps me calm down sometimes because how the music is and I love every animal keep posting this these are beautiful

[@Shibalvr]

Do the young EMUs stay or get sold? Can the young EMU’s meet the big ones in future or too dangerous?😮😮

[@warrenbutler8990]

As a kid my duck water always was poured on mums fruit trees. 40 year later there still producing fruit

[@ccurry1760]

It's cool seeing Bert reposition the eggs.

[@annetteacciaio8111]

Bunny is a great name for an Easter Emu. I wish I thought of it. ❤

[@chesneypaterson6433]

Its the emus first time incubating eggs so they are still learning.

[@user-ib2ns5ij2y]

I feel like to get the most out of your emus you might want to get dummy eggs for the boys to lay on next year. Then just gather all of the eggs the girls lay to incubate them inside.

[@fabriglas]

Then swap a few under Bert when they are ready to hatch and let them look after them!

[@lonewolfclan1073]

or they could raise the floors of the sheds, and give them heating, like most zoo's do.

[@PK-no5kr]

I’ve been enjoying your videos for awhile. Love seeing all the different colors and feathers in your poultry. Sorry about all the emus you lost. The little emus are so cute!

[@IkeDesign]

It's really fun seeing the emus run among all the chickens!

[@amandahugginkiss55]

Those mandarins peeping @ 7:55 makes my heart smile.. they are so pretty and unique! Thanks for sharing your animals via YT. Your family is growing up so fast, too! Take care amd be well ☆

[@BlueRoseWolfie]

2 being born is a sucess for the first successful egg hatch. Hope for more but if not then hope its a good sign next year will do better!

[@gubjorggisladottir3525]

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)

[@wxndxedit6151]

in the other video there were like 3-4 or probably more emu eggs that developed into Chicks but sadly didn't make it, leaving only two of those (in the incubator) to hatch.

[@GodsOath_com]

Don't give up too early, there's another channel that has hatchlings but no movement or noise.

[@user-vm4pi9be4x]

im soo happy to hear that they are healthy

[@lordfaladar6261]

I can not wait to see the aviary completed!! I was wondering. why not get goats for milk instead of cows? would it not have been easier/cheaper?

[@brummelbar]

Maybe they do not like goat milk ? It can be a little strong. But I’d love to see goats !

[@Shibalvr]

Aviary, yes!!! 😊😊😊

[@lonewolfclan1073]

@@brummelbar it only gets strong if they are kept in heaped barns where they end up eating the bedding muk included. the key to not having that over powering flavour is keeping them clean everyday and getting them outside a lot and never in the same pasture for more than a week.

[@jouxjia]

I’m so happy for you for getting another type of emu!❤❤❤

[@SassyGirl822006]

It's funny seeing emus as farm animals. I'm in Australia, and emus are wild and everywhere.

[@frauschuhstiefel2594]

I'm from germany when i went to nz 20 years ago, i thought the same about them having deer as farm animals. I've never seen that before or after!

[@delightfuldishdiary]

Jake and Becky will be the best grandparents to have on Earth!!! ❤😅❤ I've been following you guys since bamboo hatched and I looovvveee your journey plus I love all the cowssss; dolly and her daughters 😂🎉❤

[@NancieGreen-qv4uv]

the first baby easter emu was smiling :)

[@annaly3]

Bert's doing a great job but I don't think he's able to keep the eggs warm enough. I'd suggest incubating as many eggs as you can as I think they'll have a better hatch rate ❤

[@gregphillips1873]

Wonder if you could use a stethoscope on the emu eggs to see if you can hear a heartbeat or movement?

[@lesliestout1241]

Howdy from west Texas!! 🤠

[@_revivify_7175]

Best part is when you get out of school for the day and I see that you uploaded a new video ❤!!! Thank you 😭

[@deenottelling8492]

Glad you guys had some success. I feel bad for Bert all those days sitting.

[@darlouthia5153]

Always enjoy an update ❤

[@warrenbutler8990]

Do you think if you put a chick near Bert he might get the message. I did that with a turkey when I was a kid. Just a thought

[@patriciabonitz5758]

Great video. I'll pray the rest of the emus will hatch. 🙏❤💘💘

[@greyhoundmama2062]

Joey is so happy that Dad gets KZbin promotion products! The Farmer's Dog food is very good quality. I would buy it all the time, but it's over my budget. However, their recipes inspired me to cook for my dogs, real food is better for them.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

That's great to hear! Glad it inspires you.

[@TheDriftdog]

Been raw feeding dogs for nearly 25 years, my top tip is to remove the food from the bag while still frozen, you leave so much in the bag if you thaw it in there 🐾🐾

[@Bottle_Dude]

It’s always nice to watch these birds grow up w/ you. You should name the emus and if you do name one “Lukas, Lucas, Luka, Luca” cuz all those mean light

[@gubjorggisladottir3525]

as in lightbringer? Lucifer?

[@Bottle_Dude]

@@gubjorggisladottir3525 no it just means I light I guess that’s what my mom told me cuz my brother is named luca

[@GlowingTrashPanda99]

They have the same Latin root word, which does mean light, but aren’t derived from each other, don’t be crass.

[@Bottle_Dude]

@@GlowingTrashPanda99 thanks

[@jenniferbond3113]

I bought 2 eggs off ebay and 1 of them hatched! He's 3 weeks old and doing amazing. Lower humidity seems to be key for the eggs.

[@Palit-gc8kr]

next time, try placing the eggs in a bowl of warm water when they are that close to hatching, and it will be a lot easier to tell if there is movement. the egg will rock back and forth if the chick is alive.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

If they are alive they will move. Regardless of in water or not.

[@user-ft9jw5kz9t]

Good show as always thank you kindly

[@malloryoates8580]

Welcome to the chaos, baby emu ❤

[@melissagoehring1769]

I think the blonde emu should be named Bunny for a female Reese's for a male (I hope you like the names🎉❤)

[@Berley_1234]

chickens are the best !!! i love love love watching them

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

Beautiful baby Emus. Your newest one should be called "Fluffinutter". Lol 🙂🦋

[@user-pq8bz1bf4w]

Yes. Beautiful XD

[@phantasmicmasque]

When you said the eggs weren’t hatching in the title, I thought that there would be no more emus at all! Glad to see I was wrong :3

[@isaiasguerrero8755]

Beautiful .! Call the new Emu Butter.!♥️♥️♥️ he is so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Those two little emu's move down right fast.

[@bearpixiejaydapets9262]

Also love your videos, but can you make them a little bit longer? It’s like they go by so quick.

[@mysticashes9023]

It might be best to get some fake eggs and let yhe boys sit on those while incubating the eggs inside, when they hatch you can sneak them under the boys so they can raise them as fathers. The floor is likely just too cold no matter how much of a good father they are

[@debm8470]

The baby emus are just adorable. Two babies seems perfect to me. Can you imagine 19 of them running around? Lol Fingers crossed for one or two more tho.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

😂

[@0sabie0]

omg you're at 1 million subs, you have come a long way! I joined when you were around 20k subs so happy to see your channel grow

[@jmo4415]

Excellent family channel ❤

[@artsyapple6509]

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.

[@paulaarchuleta755]

Love the baby birds

[@SoonPart5]

Hope they hatch!

So nice to see the farm. Don't worry, you'll get more baby emus

[@BABYMON7ER1]

Now that I have seen the eggs DIDNT hatch under burt does that mean that you should just use the incubator , Bc Three emus hatched from the incubator 🤔

[@bailatwerski2951]

Absolutely loved your video😍

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you!

[@Zibarian]

are you afraid the other emus will be aggressive to the babies if they are with bert while bert is sitting? do you plan that once all the eggs are done to give them the babies and separate them away? think it would be amazing to see some daddy emu action and would be rewarding to bert to know there are babies for all his hard work.

[@SharwinSharwin-po4cy]

Hi Jake! I wanted to suggest that why can you try to have a new breeding project on your naked necked rooster with the other hens in your farm like the silkies, ayam cemani and the Poland polish?I mean it would be really cool to see naked necked chickens in different breeds in the farm. Just want to share a suggestion 😅
