What Happened to Bert's Eggs?

[@barbfrank917]

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 ❤

[@farmaa7980]

❤

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@helinameinhard7133]

Glade❌ Glad✔️

[@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.

[@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.

[@warrenbutler8990]

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

[@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 ☆

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.

[@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?😮😮

[@deenottelling8492]

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

[@ccurry1760]

It's cool seeing Bert reposition the eggs.

[@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!

[@jouxjia]

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

[@BlueViper-p8e]

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.

[@annetteacciaio8111]

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

[@patriciabonitz5758]

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

[@PatriciaGoodwin-p1o]

Yay! My number 1 favorite family on you tube! So thankful you share with us. God bless you all in every way. Love your videos.

[@IkeDesign]

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

[@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 🐾🐾

[@_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 😭

[@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.

[@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.

[@delightfuldishdiary]

Two couples❤😂❤ 6:56

[@chesneypaterson6433]

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

[@GodsOath_com]

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

[@Butterfly_Meadows]

I honestly didn't see the blond emu chick at first because I thought it was a chicken.14:30

[@gregphillips1873]

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

[@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

[@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 😅

[@bailatwerski2951]

[@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]

😂

[@darlouthia5153]

Always enjoy an update ❤

[@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.

[@claudinebernadettejimdar1681]

I love to see your eggs hatching out! I think your Emus are hiding out in their eggs. I hope.

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

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

[@lauradavison4044]

[@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 ❤

[@joanneganon7157]

Go Bert Go🎉 YaY an Easter Baby❤He/She is so different and so adorable! 😂JO JO IN VT 💞

[@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

[@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.

[@irmahardnett]

🍀👍💚Farm Life Gotta Love It💚👍🍀Beautiful Birds🍀

[@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.

[@knutznmp]

i love your familys channel keep up the great work and im curious whats the new emus names

[@ALABAMAVIDS]

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

So I take it by the first Emu that Bamboo does have lead in his pencil and can do the job or is this not the case can you update us on your thinking of who the parents are or aren't thanks and any joy getting the net sorted for the outside area for the birds

[@NancieGreen-qv4uv]

the first baby easter emu was smiling :)

[@emmettkennedy8388]

That super baby emu is adorable! What is the plan for future emus? From the looks of it, you have the ability to handle about 3-4 more but you have so many egg. If they all hatch….

[@gailrhodes2859]

I hope the other eggs are good and produce healthy babies

[@SammySales]

Where do you get one of those incubators at the smaller ones needing to hatch out some egg layers for our family

[@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.

[@66danette]

I love the polish , the red and goldens

[@melissagoehring1769]

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

[@toryecohen]

a tip if you have an egg that you cant candle and is incubated by a bird after two weeks shake the egg next to your ear if you hear fluids it is bad

[@malacookie]

What is the auto coop door you have with the emu chicks? Thanks!

[@Cinnamon-roll_snake]

Omg The one month old emu is huge

[@WeLoveSanrio.]

What are those white chicken breeds name living with the emu that hatch form the Incubator??

[@axlefoley6330]

I know that it’s spring in the US but when the eggs were laid it was winter and it gets way colder than it does here in Australia. I can’t wait until you guys are able to use the aviary that will be epic.

[@emmettkennedy8388]

I have been waiting for a year for the aviary to be finished

[@littlenewthings2662]

If there's too much rooster, will chicken stock from the bones work? Males are leaner and usually a lot of people like to use them for chicken broth. Maybe Asian Markets there might like it because these are free range and home grown. Just a thought.

[@kirabastian]

kinda feels like the emu belly doesnt provide enough heat? since the incubators worked. or is it just the little odds?

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Not sure, we'll try to figure out the issue. Those were the first couple eggs, maybe he wasn't sitting long enough early on.

[@jessicah7247]

​@@whitehouseonthehillI think it was just getting too freezing because of where you are. You might need a raised floor in your emu barn and a heater/red light to keep it at like 40f+ inside.

[@jimro1]

would you be able to use a stethoscope to listen for a heartbeat inside of the egg? or maybe doppler?

[@ChaseCope]

I own bison and we had a calf on Easter to.

[@Willsexoticspets]

If roosters were legal in my area I would adopt one from yall but sadly only hens can be kept here

I don’t know much about chickens, but shouldn’t the breast chickens be moved to a bigger coop? It seems quite small for all of them.
