Unless you know what you’re doing, don’t.
I have found a paper on ‘safety holes’… very interesting.
One could argue that chicks that are not strong enough to get out of the egg by themselves should not survive. I have a different opinion.
To me all life is precious. So if I can save a chick by helping it, I will.
The ‘safety holes’ are used when incubating rear and endangered bird species. It increases the chances of survival in the fiercely process of hatching.
Yet one has to be extremely careful. It happens easily that a chick get’s injured.
This video is about the hatching of my emu eggs, the second largest eggs in the world. (and the most beautiful ones 🙂
The first Emu chick got out all by himself. The second one needed a little help.

Seven weeks earlier:
For seven long weeks, I had no idea
If these eggs would contain life
They needed to loose 10% of their weight
So I checked them
Every egg every week
With a smaller egg it’s easy to check for life
This time that was impossible
Because the shell was way too thick to shine through
I didn’t see anything
Finally after seven weeks I could try the ‘water trick’
My hope was that at least one of the eggs was alive
And now, now I could finally find out
So, fingers crossed
Will they move?
Hmmm…
The first 4 eggs I tried, didn’t move at all
Nr 5
Oh yeahhh
And nr 6 as well!
Why always the last ones?
Some day’s later the most heartwarming thing happened
Did you see that?
The next day the reaction to my whistle became stronger
The next morning
Yes! First crack
I was very exited
Yet it took another day before it went further
Two days after the first crack, I thought now we were almost there
But it still went slow
And the other egg (nr 6) started to worry me
It was still reacting to me, yet lesser and weaker
The chick seemed to be too weak to crack the shell
Weaker chicks might die at this point
There isn’t much you can do
But I study eggs 🙂
And I had found a most interesting paper
A study on ‘safety holes’
The idea is simple: by very carefully making a little hole…
Inside the ‘air chamber’, the chick can breathe oxygen and gain strength
First I had to be sure on which side to drill, so I listened
Now I needed to work very carefully
I started at a natural spot
“Yes, yes, I know…”
The shell was a lot harder than I had thought it would be
It took surprisingly much effort
There is still a whole net of tiny blood vessels surrounding the chick
Loosing a drop of blood from one of them is not a problem
As long as I don’t shoot-out
Good… Now it can breathe
Almost immediately it sounded better, stronger
I used my phone to record its sound
When I returned at the incubator, the first chick was already out of its egg
So I put it in an old incubator to dry
The ‘safety hole’ proved to be very effective
So a short while later…
This one went a bot quicker now, but it still took some hours
Here are the highlights
In nature it would be under a giant bird right now
Over here it needs a little help to get rid of the last parts
So now I have two baby emus at home
Might need to look for a bigger house soon

The incubator I used is a MS incubator

…قبل سبع أسابيع” لمدة سبعة أسابيع طويلة، لم يكن لديّ فكرة عما إذا كانت تلك البيضات بها جنين أم لا إنهم بحاجة إلى .فقدان 10 بالمئة من وزنهم …لذا راقبتهم …راقبت كل بيضة، كل اسبوع كلما صغرت البيضة، كلما سهّل من عملية العثور على جنين ولكن هذه المرة، …كان الأمر مستحيلًا لم ألاحظ أي شيء بإضافة هاتفي، بسبب سماكة قشرة البيضة.
لم أتمكن من رؤية أي شيء وأخيرًا بعد سبع أسابيع، تمكنت من إجراء اختبار (خدعة الماء)، كنت آمل الحصول على بيضة واحدة على الأقل بها جنين …والآن، يمكنني أخيرًا اختبارهم …ثم، آمل خيرًا هل سيتحركون؟ …لنر قمت باختبار الأربع .بيضات الأولى، لم يتحركوا جميعًا (البيضة (رقم 5.
…أخيرًا …والبيضة (رقم 6) كذلك لماذا تكون الأخيرة دائمًا؟ …بعد بضعة أيام حدث الشيء الأكثر بهجة هل رأيتم ذلك؟ في اليوم التالي .رد الفعل على صافرتي صار أقوى …في صباح اليوم التالي …أجل! أول شرخ .كنت متحمسًا للغاية.
مع ذلك استغرق الأمر يوما آخر، …قبل يمتد الشرخ بعد يومين من التصدع الأول، .ظننت أنها أوشكت على الخروج …لكنها ما زالت بطيئة …والبيضة (رقم 6)، شرعت في إقلاقي كانت لا تزال تتفاعل معي، …ولكنه أضعف وأقل يبدو أن الفرخ أضعف من أن يكسر القشرة قد تموت الكتاكيت الأضعف في تلك المرحلة …ليس بيدينا شيء لنفعله .ولكني أدرس البيض.
.وقد وجدت ورقة أكثر إثارة للاهتمام .(دراسة حول (ثقوب الآمان الفكرة بسيطة: وهي صنع ثقوب صغيرة بحرص شديد داخل “غرفة الهواء” ، يمكن للفرخ .أن يتنفس الأكسجين ويكتسب القوة في البداية كان عليّ التأكد على أي الجانبين سأقوم بالحفر .والآن أنا بحاجة إلى العمل بحرصٍ شديد …بدأت بالحفرة الطبيعية (نعم، أعرف) .القشرة كانت أغلظ ممّا توقعت.
لقد تطلب الأمر الكثير من الجهد بشكل مدهش لا تزال هناك شبكة كاملة .من الأوعية الدموية المحيطة بالفرخ .لا يعد فقدان قطرة دم من أحدها مشكلة .طلاما أنني لم أصب الفرخ …جيد .الآن يمكنه أن يتنفس على الفور تقريبا بدا أفضل، وأقوى .استخدمت هاتفي لتسجيل صوته عندما عدت إلى الحاضنة، .كان قد استطاع الفرخ الأول من الخروج لذا وضعته في الحاضنة القديمة .حتى يجف.
.أثبتت (فتحة الأمان) فعاليتها للغاية …لذا بعد فترة قصيرة بات الأمر أسرع قليلًا، .ولكنه استغرق بضع ساعات …إليكم النقاط البارزة في الطبيعة التي ستكون تحت طائر عملاق في الوقت الحالي يحتاج القليل من المساعدة للتخلص من الأجزاء الأخيرة والآن بات لديّ طفلين .من طائر الإيمو في المنزل “.قد أحتاج إلى البحث عن منزل أكبر قريبًا سترى مزيدًا من القصص الرائعة، .إذا قمت بالإشتراك في القناة.
