Description The eggs collected from four emu breeding pairs in two laying season maintained in the emu research unit at TANUVAS Regional Research Centre, Pudukkottai, Tamil Nadu were used for this study. The birds were maintained under standard manage mental practices. The mean egg production performance, the mean egg weight and the mean hatch weight of four emu pairs during 5th laying season were 40.5 ± 3.22, 570.03 ± 4.17g and 410.63 ± 5.66g respectively and the 6th laying season were 30.75 ± 1.65, 583.46 ± 3.80g and 414.14 ± 5.47g respectively. The hatching performance analysis of 5th laying season indicated that the per cent total egg hatchability, fertile hatchability and dead in shell were 72.66, 93.5 and 6.93 respectively. The hatching performance of 6th laying season indicated that the per cent total egg hatchability, fertile hatchability, early embryonic mortality, late embryonic mortality and dead in shell were 36.6, 52.5, 9.8, 5.35 and 15.17 respectively.
