No doubt Brooke and Jason always do thorough research to insure they do the very best for their beloved animals/babies. I admit I shed a few tears. Hearing the concern and pain in Brooke and Jason's voices was real and powerful. Checking the eggs was mandatory for Nugget's survival. I look forward to seeing Nugget running throughout the pastures, picking at shoes, checking out Mama Brooke's earrings and being his normal, wonderful self! Nugget is beloved by everyone. He can now start to recover his strength and return to his 'Sheriff-ing' duties.

[@1sharonkoch]

Poor Nugget! I’m glad you made the decision to check. That was very wise.

[@marciemiller6250]

The fact that at least one egg was fertile says that in fact Nugget did do his job. It is heartbreaking that none of the eggs were viable. However if and when it is meant to happen, then it will happen. No matter our heartbreak, I can’t imagine Brooke and Jason’s heartbreak. Yet they may have saved Nuggets life. In the end that is most important.

[@Karmacalifornia67]

So grateful that Nugget and Goldie had you and Brooke. Xo Grateful

[@lindahipp8329]

Sorry Nugget, no babies. You did the best you could.

[@lyndaharwood2575]

He may not have done his job. If he had, they would have been fertilized.

[@Og-Judy]

I saw a guy hand raising emu eggs and he thought one was a NO GO cuz ZERO movement ZERO whistle. After a bit of time it DID hatch

[@carolynchadwick7867]

​@@Og-Judy I saw one breeder (maybe same one) who was ready to open one with a drill or elec. saw, & it moved before opening the shell. Whew! I've read they are extremely hard to hibernate.

[@roydaggett13]

If you google this, this is what I find Gently tapping the air end of an emu egg will give a duller sound when the chick is filling the air space. Eggs that make a sound like china being tapped could be infertile or bad.

[@achaney8872]

It sucks when you click on a video and the 1st comment always spoils the whole video

[@rhodarapp3795]

Jason you and Brooke did what is best for Nugget. ❤️

[@sharonm3677]

Jason you need to have a talk with that young Nugget about girls that come by strutting their stuff and drawing the boys in! He showed that he has a heart of gold for Goldie! I think it was a really good decision to check the eggs. Let him recoup from this incredible dedication he just showed us and let him get back to being the sheriff! I bet you can hardly wait to have him wanting his snuggles with you again. ❤❤

[@susancronick]

Poor Nugget and Goldie. 😢 You are good owners for making the decision for him.

[@janinepennell2130]

I’m so sad for Nugget and Goldie and for you guys. Real life doesn’t always have a happy ending, but I know we were all rooting for baby Emu’s ! Love to you and blessings.🩷

[@moda78z]

My sweet poor Nugget. I’m sorry buddy! You worked so hard. 😢❤️

[@mjtguerrero7616]

So sorry for Nugget! You did the right thing. He would stay there unnecessarily and make himself weak and frail. You two are wonderful with animals. God bless you! Prayers and hugs from Guam. 🙏🫂

[@lindabowers7390]

So Sad. I feel bad for Nugget and Goldie. You hung in there Nugget and gave it your all.

[@ChrisGoldsmith-qe8kz]

So sorry Nuggo. Good job Jason and Brook. He didn't need to keep losing weight sitting on eggs that would never hatch.

[@southsidecarly7427]

So sad for Nugget, he was so dedicated 😞I hope he will get back to his sweet self soon! Love you nugget ❤️So sad!

[@kathleenleeper9276]

It was for the benefit of Nugget that the eggs were removed. How amazing that you learned so very much about this process.

[@leonagann5161]

Oh bless all of you. So sad. Good decision for Nuggets sake. Y’all are great caretakers of these precious animals.

[@cathy_p637]

I'm so glad you checked so that Nugget didn't have to sit any longer for no reason. I feel bad for him, but he may just be relieved it's over because apparently his instincts were telling him they were not viable.

[@shannoncraig2147]

Probably the rotten smell!

[@KatherineWalden]

I am saddened with the news but yes it’s obvious you made the right decision.

[@ardythebartosch9913]

Well, no emu babies this year, so sorry. Jason, you and Brooke have talked with the experts and you did the right thing. Nugget is the one concern now. Thank you for sharing his journey on sitting on the eggs. Love you all.

[@lindamyers3590]

You both sure did the right thing.

[@joymay8092]

Blessings to all the Cog Hill Family & Critters. I'm so sorry about the Emus' eggs being infertile. The thought of Nugg & Goldie prancing around with 15 or 16 little emus would have been priceless! God willing, perhaps next season. You did your best, & the Nuggster was faithful & true. Love them & you all. The Cog Squad's a bit sad tonight. But, LIFE goes on at the Farm. Hugs & Kisses to you all. Blessings too!❤❤❤❤

[@terrywaters3062]

I’m so sorry guys. We were all looking forward to at least one emu egg hatching. But y’all did what was best for Nugget

[@sarahcontento9516]

Poor nugget and Goldie. I feel so bad for them.

[@kaitlyn888]

It’s all part of the learning process. You did the right thing made the right call always go with your gut instincts. They won’t steer you wrong. My heart goes out to Goldie and her husband, make a wonderful father someday!!

[@charliebravo8954]

Farm life is often difficult. Grief and disappointment are as much a part of it as the excitement and joy. I hope Nugget is back on his feet and recuperating. Blessings to you and yours. ❤️‍🩹

[@beckiehales4864]

Awe I feel so bad for Nugget and Goldie. I was so hoping for golden nuggets. I pray Nugget is ok. He would have been such a goog dad. Im glad yall checked them. Give Nugget a hug for me.❤

[@chazleighann]

Nugget's health is the most important.

[@christinedoss9867]

I was hoping that at least one would hatch.

[@DelindaRussell-wt8ml]

❤watching the video ❤

[@maryburnett3425]

So sorry about eggs. Maybe next time. Best wishes to all of you.

[@leahbass8111]

I'm so sorry there are no Nugget and Goldie babies. I just love your channel. It is so wholesome. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love you guys and your animals.

[@debbiebowyer1583]

So sorry for the loss of the eggs ! Felt bad for poor Nugget !Maybe next year they'll be successful ! ❤🌻🌻🌻

[@sarahbrewer8945]

What a shame for the emus, Coghill and us viewers. You made the right decision though.

[@cathywarner1897]

Your pets are such a great priority. Your devotion and respect for their health and welfare is commendable.

[@aprildelk6987]

I love the 'Charlotte's Web' replica above Peache's sleeping quarters.

[@candicesailsbury1355]

Nugget did a awesome job Goldie was definitely watching what was going on

[@gaylewatkins4685]

So glad you did the wellness check on the eggs and of course for Nugget. You made the right decision to intervene. ❣️

[@brendaglanzman2066]

You made the right decision.

[@geraldtodd6633]

I'm glad all the eggs were no good. If one of then would have had a viable Emu inside all of you and all of us would have been heartbroken.

[@VarnerRuth]

You all care so much for your animals. Hoping and praying Nugget and Goldie will have eggs in the future.

[@CynthiaDelFava]

I'm sorry to hear the bad news about the emu eggs, but I'm glad that Nugget will be eating and drinking and returning to normal.💕

[@dianesmith2480]

I feel so sad for Nugget - he was so devoted 🥺

[@beverlyparrott3890]

So sorry the eggs didn't work. Nuggett and Goldie tried . 😢 Hope Nuggett gets up soon. Thanks for checking them Jason and Brooke. Heart breaking!

[@dawnhinrichs3940]

I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to Nugget, Goldie and you all. I'm glad you checked now.

[@beejayem42]

Such a shame - you’ve done the best for them! 🐨👍

[@laurasimpson7211]

I am so sorry! You’re probably going to see buzzards!

[@gambitsfox4216]

I wouldn't doubt Nugget yet. He knew about the other two so give him a little more time.

[@alittletexasingeorgia]

we're all so sad and we're hoping to have some little nuggets running everywhere in every direction. Maybe next time but at least we know that Nugget is a good Daddy.

[@maddiebon60]

I feel so bad for nugget after sitting for so long, makes me cry 😭 PS you guys made the right decision, nuggets heath is more important.

[@ethelbromley3449]

That is so heartbreaking. I feel for Nugget, Goldie, Brooke and Jason. I'm glad you reached out to someone with more experience on emu eggs. You did the right thing. Hopefully Nugget will get back to his old self soon and be healthy.

[@ronniemcharry2636]

Sorry for your loss nugget and goldie you would of been magnificent parents ever ❤️ ♥️ Sorry Jason Brooke we known you were so excited about the baby emus being born on the farm Sorry everyone thanks heaps from Ronnie ❤️ ❤️ from Geelong Vic Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@lisalemaster9383]

Awe, my heart is broken for Nugget and Goldie 😞. At least we know he will sit, so something was learned. OXOXO to you and all your family and animals ❣️

[@mandacole8703]

Oh no poor Nugget and Goldie! I was really hoping for tiny Nugget babies.

[@CogHillFarm]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@darlenemackamul7008]

I think Nugget didn’t know to do step 1 breed with Goldie. He went straight to step 2 sit on the nest.

[@carolbaughman2412]

Well I will believe Nugget did what Nugget needed to do! ALL THE WAY!! TO THE END!!!

[@Red-sm4sb]

They said egg #4 was fertilized but just didn’t develop.

[@sarahfox3312]

We’re all so invested in these animals lives so this was hard to watch. Heart goes out to y”all ❤

[@sharrondinnis1335]

GOOD JOB WITH PHEPHE’s BABIES BROOKE, I CAN DEFINITELY SEE THOSE ROUNDED FULL TUMMIES TODAY👍🏼. God bless y’all🙏🏻🥰😇. Love and prayers always

[@latuschaslivinglife]

I watched the whole video before deciding to comment. I’m glad you got some good Emu farmer friends who could give you advice on the eggs. It seems to me you made the right decision for Goldie and Nugget. You take such good care of all your animals and always get help and advice when needed. Love you guys ❤

[@sylviawislocki5161]

I was waiting and watching; I was so concerned for all of you. I could feel Brooke’s disappointment. Y’all did the right thing for Nugget. I remember y’all saying from the beginning that y’all didn’t think Nugget and Goldie had mated. Let’s hope Nugget gets up soon and gets back to normal. You can tell Nugget loves and trusts y’all the way he laid there and let you check. Even Goldie remained calm. ❤❤

[@ronniemcharry2636]

Next time they will be awesome parents thanks heaps from Ronnie ❤️ ❤️ from Geelong Vic Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@sheilajones4338]

Bless Nuggets heart he was a trooper... He tried his best..love to Nugget from West Texas ...

[@debrathompson1780]

Poor Nugget. Such a sweet boy. I'm glad you pulled them. Yet sad after all his efforts. Goldie too, it can't be easy popping out 17 big 'o eggs.. Y'all are the best.

[@hannakinn]

Aww maybe you could get one baby for nugget and goldie to adopt so it wont be so awful for them. Poor Nugget he really was being such a good daddy. 😢

[@lukeknowles5700]

Poor Nugget. I hope he is resilient.

[@JudesBricks-ef5lv]

Poor Nugget and Goldie. I feel sad for all of you. You did the best thing taking the eggs.

[@stangann]

I am so sorry for the Cog Hill family loss. I cried for nugget and goldie. I know how disappointing it must be for you all. Just know you guys did a great job taking care of Nugget while he was on the eggs.

[@elainel5276]

Good morning! I feel so bad for nugget and Goldie. He did such a good job sitting.

[@CogHillFarm]

Morning!❤️❤️

[@helenkapalka8545]

❤​@@CogHillFarm

[@loripretti843]

How sad is that!!! Poor Goldie and Nugget!!! Maybe next time!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@stellamaggard3669]

How to check for movement is to put them in water. The egg starts wiggling. If they are fertilized and close to hatching. That is what this youtuber does. His page is called A Chick named Albert. You definitely made the right decision.

[@bethburkett2753]

Sorry for Nuggets and Goldy's loss. You too. I know you were looking forward to baby Emus on the farm.

[@kimdavid4979]

You did the right thing and I just know Nugget will be up and back to his old self very soon. It’s more than obvious how much you guys love your animals. ❤

[@lolabowling1509]

Poor Nugget and Goldie. I was so looking forward to little Goldie nuggets.

[@lesliemorse5459]

Sorry for Nugget and Goldie. So glad they have caring parents. 😢❤

[@Bergantin23]

As usual you two did the right thing, thanks. Jason the roses are glorious.

[@DLRyoung]

Hard decisions are made, but it’s a good decision, sorry You beautiful birds! God bless

[@marycountry]

Thanks for this education on Emu. You are great caretakers 👍🏻😊

[@jenniferseelen1899]

So very sorry Brooke and Jason. So very sorry for Nugget and Goldie. I pray he quickly recovers.

[@slash2487]

Im so sorry for the loss. I voted for all the eggs hatching. Nugget and Goldie can try again later. Thank for taking us on their jurney. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CarolLeeFerrigno]

So sad. That poor baby boy. You made the right decision.

[@karendunn7110]

I'm so sorry about the eggs, and I hope Sheriff Nugget is back up.

[@willieguy3928]

We're so sorry for your loss Nugget and Goldie, better luck next time. 💔

[@territrombley8273]

Sad for Nugget but glad you made the decision to check the eggs. ❤❤

[@cathybehler4893]

So sad for Nugget and Goldie. You made the right decision for them and I do hope Nugget gets up soon. It was heart breaking that none of the eggs were viable.

[@robinmentzer7974]

So sorry for Nugget and Goldie that none of the eggs were fertile. A sad day for all at Cog Hill Farm. Hopefully, next year.

[@cathydavenport3494]

I'm so so sorry about the babies not being fertile. I hope Nugget gets up and Goldie and Nugget try again. Blessing to you all😢❤

[@marlaritchie3909]

So sorry about no babies for Goldie and Nugget. You take such good care of your animals. Thank you so much.

[@sallyrenard9539]

Such sad news but you made the right decision for Nugget's health.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

There's always next year Nugget and Goldie. Big Hugs to you all. So sorry and we all were hoping to see baby's soon. I am proud of Mr. and Mrs. Cog for listening to the egg's and you did a lot of searching for information regarding the eggs.

[@christinemullens653]

So sorry the eggs were bad. Nugget did his best.

[@sallysullivan4463]

I am SO thankful that Cog Hill Family Farm has two emus, male and female, that are both social and 'good natured with most other domesticated animals'. That, in itself, is a true Blessing. Yes, potential babies would have been appreciated and well loved. So Thankful for your concern and wise intervention . Once again, the three of you are conscientious and dependable care-takers ! TODAY, I love Cog Hill Family Farm even more than I did , yesterday ! 💔💝❤❌💯

[@patriciasiefert7140]

Poor Nugget and Goldie. So sad. Love him up good!

[@biddiemutter3481]

7:00 I love the way every time I see the milking room , there's something new. I hadn't noticed the pictures before.

[@heartwork8318]

Right call! Protect the sheriff! Much love✌🏻🫶🏻

[@patriciabonitz5758]

WOW! It was a good idea to check the eggs. Poor Nugget. He was a faithful Dad. It wasn't met to be. You and Brooke are excellent parents for all your animals. 😢💔❤❤❤

[@1lottiedottie]

Jason and Brooke I’m so sorry for Nugget and Goldie. I was so looking forward to seeing those babies hatch. 😢 Such is life and maybe it will happen in the future. ❤

[@sherrya6902]

We’re all so sad. Was looking forward to a bunch of Nugget minis running around…

[@lrwright8400]

Nuggetron - I love that. Good animal husbandry, guys!

[@laurelmullen268]

He’s so good letting you go under him to get the eggs. It’s almost like he knows. At least you know that he is capable of sitting when there is a next go around. Poor Nugget and Goldie. You made the right decision. I remember how worried Lester was about Carl’s condition when he was sitting. Weird Mother Nature starves the parent to sit on the eggs.

[@CrazyCatLady1968]

Oh shoot 😢Not the news anyone wanted, was it. It's so hard to have to make those kinds of calls. Comfort and peace to Nugget, Goldie, Jason, Brooke, and MaryCarl and the rest of the CHF Nation 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@robinnewton5265]

Poor Nugget thank goodness yall made the right and the best decision 💓 Love yall!🩷🩵💜💙

[@bellepfeiffer3630]

Awe so sad - we were all looking forward to a fleet of little Goldnuggets running around.

[@sherrismith4754]

It’s so sad for him. Nugget you did a great job

[@danieloutloud9151]

What was a surprise was that Goldie took an interest in what was going on and hung around the perimeter . From everything ya'll were reporting , wouldn't have expected her to have paid any of that any mind at all . 🤔

[@merisehetherington9785]

She’s actually the protector of Nugget & the eggs. I’m glad she trusts her guardians.

[@tinarlowe2251]

So sorry for Nug and Goldie...

[@timgouine9844]

Sorry for Nugget and Goldies eggs.

[@tammytsuchiyama8858]

Good morning. The swag roses are gorgeous. So sad about the eggs. My heart is broken for Nugget and Goldie. I’m glad you two made the decision to check the eggs. God Bless you all.

[@maryferrell-wyman2671]

Thank you for being great pet parents. Every one did their level best. Nugget and Goldie are hero parents too. Our hearts go out to Nugget and Goldie as they come to terms with this loss.

[@meeofcourse4152]

Oh.... Saddened NUGGET has been so dedicated.... and surprised Jason- Brooke understood Nugget. Likely most eggs unfertilized.... Saddened for the few that were. It's their first time together.... All of us have learned much from this situation... Still will pray for the future... Thanks for being so dedicated to the fortunate Emus, and ALL of your critters

[@user-xf9bn5sx7o]

Bless poor Nugget and Goldie hearts , Nugget has been a trouper staying on the eggs so patient up till you had to take remove the them , I know the birds will be taken good care of by Jason and Brooke , bless your hearts to , God be with you all 💙🩷❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
