I live in Australia and I read that the emu parent often breaks the shell for the baby to get out of, I suggest you should intervene

[Beebee-pmtk]

Please Catherine help these babies on day 59. Don’t let them suffocate. Crack the shell to help them. Your watchers are all on edge. ❤️🐝🐝🇳🇿

[sherylbrown]

Hey Catherine I would help them hatch . If they are dying in the egg there’s nothing to lose .❤

[skylachamard]

I don't care about the bags and wrinkles, all I see is the beautiful heart.

[jokelly]

Never wanted to see baby emus this much. 😂 Let’s go babies…

[dawnhinrichs]

Been keeping you, Coghill and Chestnut Hills in prayer due to bad weather there. Prayers for all effected by storms.

[Pluvio]

They've got to be fully formed by day 59 so I would go ahead and give them some help. I feel like there is nothing to lose at that point. Best of luck either way!

[ilovpapercrafting]

Catherine, you have a beautiful face of a life well led. In truth, laugh lines are from blessings. Yes, your picture is much sharper. So glad you’re all safe and thank you to god for the Tonys of the world and their supportive families who help others. ❤

[kristyhaysart]

The shells are possibly thicker because the emus are getting supplementary feed which would have calcium in it. I would definitely be making an air hole on day 58.

[cynthialodgebrown]

Yes, while male emus primarily incubate the eggs by sitting on them, they do also play a role in helping the chicks break out of the shell once it starts to crack, by occasionally moving the eggs around or gently pecking at the shell to assist the hatching process; essentially, they are present and supportive during the hatching stage.

So exciting to see those eggs rocking! I sure hope it all goes well! And dear sweet friend...4k or 5k the only thing we see is your beautiful, beautiful soul and loving, caring spirit ❤ So glad to see there was no damage from the storms! Hugs to you sister-friend! ❤

[mommaseesall]

Catherine, I'm feeling the eggs are too hard for them to hatch on their own.
I agree with @Nana If rocking so strong for too long, they really will be too weak to survive.
I have seen videos where a baby Emu had weak legs and could not stand or walk, but the owner, figured out a support to make for the legs to help with mobility until the legs did get strong and the baby was able to walk on it's own.
Sending you lots of Love and Prayers for as many Emus that are eager to live a great long life.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

I saw a YouTube video once about a man who helped his Emu egg hatched. First he drilled a little hole for air. I don’t know how much time past, but next he put a small crack in the egg. The Emu did try to make the crack larger but it struggled. He eventually made the crack bigger for the Emu. Eventually the Emu made it out of the egg alive.

[kimberlyhughes]

Oh, sweet Catherine...we KNOW youre doing everything you can! Please give yourself some grace.❤

[MrsEyes]

You're too cute. I'm glad you learned to whistle. 😅
Hope the eggs hatch soon!!

[vernaseace]

Thank you for answering the call from Brooke and Jason and trying so hard to save the calf! You are an awesome true friend! So sorry the calf couldn’t be saved, but it wasn’t for lack of caring and trying!

[KDVoller]

I don't know if you watch A Chick Called Albert, he hatches all kinds of eggs and I'm pretty sure he hatched something similar to an emu egg 5 months ago. He has assisted hatches, you might find something helpful on his channel. I'm pulling for you.

[ede-jomadden]

So smart to use the recording of hatching chicks, Catherine!! You're doing everything you can to assist these eggs -- Midwiffing Emus!!

[coleneritchie]

Catherine, maybe the 59th day is a day you can help by cracking the egg for at least one. If it’s makes it, wonderful, if not, none of them have gotten out by themselves yet. Nothing to lose really, and no blame.

[Nana_]

IF YOU'RE GOING TO HELP THEM HATCH YOU MAY NEED TO HELP THEM BEFORE THEY GET TOO WEAK TO GET THEMSELVES OUT. JUST A THOUGHT.
