Week 7

Hummmmm..... How do we know if there's a live emu in there?





Sooooooo its getting closer to hatch day for our emu's eggs. Today lets learn a few ways to test an emu egg to see if there is anything inside it after 33 days. Below are a few questions to answer.

A. Explain how we could test our emu eggs to see if they are alive?
B. The photo above is using what test method?

  1. A. You can check if the egg is alive by doing the tap test, a leaning test, water tests, etc.

    B. The one above it the float method.

  2. the water method or float test, you would also need to check and make sure that the egg doesn't have a crack in it from a chick starting to hatch since floating it in water could end up drowning the chick if it has started to crack and you didn't notice it. Float them in warm water to see if the chick moves the egg.

  3. 1:Leaning Method lay down on a flat serfuce & if they lean towards the pointy end then there's probably a chick inside. If it stays level or leans towards the aircell end then it's probably a dud.,Cooling Method leave the egg out for 5 mins and if its cool then its not alive and if its warm it the chick keeping warm,Rolling Method You lightly roll the egg & if it settles to a steady stop then there's an egg,the water.

  4. 1: we could test or emu eggs to see if they are alive by the weight of the egg.
    2: it's a float method.

  5. Start With A Bowl Of Sufficient Depth To Allow The Eggs Your Testing To Float Freely Or Sink. Add 100 Degree Water To The Needed Level And Allow It To Settle. Once Settled Take The Egg Or Eggs To Be Tested And Gently Lower Them Into The Water With As Little Disturbance As Possible. You May Need To Wait A Few Minutes For The Water To Settle Again After Adding Egg/ Eggs.
    1. Sinker = never developed
    2. High floater says 45% or more of the egg above the water line = no developed or Fetal Demise
    3. Low floater = viable egg, development full term
    4. Low Floater rocking and rolling this is the live embryo moving inside the egg= Definate viable egg

  6. 1. We could test our emu eggs if they are alive by: Float test, Weight, and if there are sounds coming from the egg.

    2. The method they are using in the photo is the float test.

  7. A. You can use the cooling method by letting the egg cool for about 5 minutes and then feeling the egg and if its warm its likely the chick keeping it warm. You can also use the lean method by laying the egg on a flat surface and if it leans towards the pointy end there's likely a chick.

    B. The water method

  8. 1. Leaning Method lay down on a flat surface & if they lean towards the pointy end then there's probably a chick inside. If it stays level or leans towards the air cell end then it's probably a dud.,Cooling Method leave the egg out for 5 mins and if its cool then its not alive and if its warm it the chick keeping warm,Rolling Method You lightly roll the egg & if it settles to a steady stop then there's an egg,the water.

  9. You can use a weighing method to see if the egg gets heavier and the sound test to see if there making any sound in the egg, the method in the picture is the water method

  10. A.Eggs that are 2 weeks can be layed down on a flat surface if they lean towards the pointy end then there's probably a chick inside. If it stays level or leans towards the aircell end then it's probably a dud.
    B.the photo above is using the float method....this determines wether the egg is alive by the factor in which the egg floats or sinks

  26. 1. You can use the water method which requires you to put the egg in water and check for movement .
    2. This is the water method .

  29. we can weigh it float it and tap it

    ReplyDelete
  30. 1. By tapping it (to see if it taps back), putting it on a flat surface (to see if it leans to one side), or putting it in water (to see if it floats or not.)
    2. Float test

  31. a) We can do test like the float test, wiggle, and weight.
    b) That is the float test.
