Big Egg Cracked In My Hands - Just as I was about to drill it

Join me in the hatching of these stunning emerald emu eggs.
At a petting zoo's female Emu had 3 eggs but their male Emu didn't start incubating on the nest (yes, with Emu's, the male does the incubating and the raising of the chicks). So they reached out to me and asked if I wanted to give these eggs a chance. By now they were quite old so I wasn't sure if they would hatch.

Would you like to join the community and become a guardian to support my sanctuary?

Thank you so much!

Okay, but the eggs reacting to the whistling is just too cute. And I think all of us felt the joy and relief when the 3rd egg cracked in your hand! Bless you for what you do; you're a delight good sir

Every time I watch this channel I end up needing tissues. What a wonderful human. The purity in his love for the animals in his care is such a beautiful thing to see.

His reaction after the third chick broke through the shell was so wholesome. Some confusion at the beginning but immediate joy after it. We need more people like him 🥲

you dont even know how happy this man's videos make me. Like every time something good happens(in this case, the egg's cracking noise and his reaction to the emu breaking herself out without help) makes me increasingly fill with joy and tears start rolling down my face with wholesomeness, its just too cute<3

I am a 52 yr old curmudgeon of a man, but yet even I was softened by this vid. Every life is amazing no matter the species!!

I have an emu who we found alone and abandoned in the Arizona desert over twenty years ago. She has a good home and will live out her days in peace. She stopped producing eggs many years ago. They were the most beautiful green eggs. So lovely to see what our Ribbon would've looked like right out of the egg! Beautiful work you are doing in your sanctuary.

i love how this man rarely ever has to speak a word but his videos and work captivates so many people

This is my second watching and I still cry at the birth of the latecomer. Absolutely adorable including their foster parent. You are amazing!!

All I can add is a teary eyed WOW! And I am a crabby 76 year old man. I am so glad that YouTube decided I should see this.

A man who is so gentle and caring towards animals is a gem. Deb from Oz

I am alot older than you, but you remind me of my dad when I was young and he would be up all night taking care of hatchlings or eggs in homemade incubators without scientific knowledge but only instinct and try to save baby birds.
....and then have to reluctantly go to his job during the day but come home for lunch to check them and give his kids simple chores regarding their care. What a wonderful way to grow up. He was still saving rescued wild animals in his late years. Thanks for the memories

My Dad raises Emu. So many times I've got to watch the chicks hatch like in this video. It's a special experience. Ty for sharing this video with everyone. It's a singular joy everyone should experience.

This man is a treasure. I have watched for years as he has hatched eggs, doctored sweet birds ...his heart is huge. It is a privilege to watch his work.

You whistling to the egg and the chick responds from within is HANDS DOWN the most amazing thing i've seen. You have a gift, sir.

I was in tears when she broke through. Some of us just need a little extra care and encouragement. ❤ Hearing them talk back to you, and to their siblings was beautiful. Thank you.

[laurabenevelli]

I love how attentive and gentle you are with these baby chicks. They are so precious. 🥰

I am an old retired science teacher. I enjoyed your video immensely! I sent it to everybody that I think will enjoy it as well. Well done, sir!

[AnthonyJamesMusician]

Seriously, just your smile when you heard the peep come from the hatching egg in the incubator, made may day! Thank you for being a beacon of goodness in this increasingly frustrating world.

There is something attractive in a person's face when they are being kind and caring for an animal.

This man is the best father anyone can be. He never gave up on the 3rd egg even after it didn’t hatch.

When it didn’t hatch he was going to drill a hole, i full heartedly believe that his man could bring a still born to life.
