- 1). Place the emu eggs in your incubator. The temperature needs to be set to between 96.5 to 97.0 degrees Fahrenheit. As you can see, the temperature at which emu eggs need to be incubated is very precise --- the necessary humidity level is somewhat less so. Anywhere between 70 to 75 degrees will be fine.
- 2). Rotate the eggs two to three times a day, using either an automatic egg rotator or by hand (lightly marking an X on the egg in pencil will help you remember whether an egg has been rotated).
- 3). Egg rotation should be stopped somewhere between day 40 and day 47, as the chicks prepare to emerge from their shells. After 43 to 50 days of incubation, the eggs will hatch, and your emu chicks will enter the world.
