No doubt Brooke and Jason always do thorough research to insure they do the very best for their beloved animals/babies. I admit I shed a few tears. Hearing the concern and pain in Brooke and Jason's voices was real and powerful. Checking the eggs was mandatory for Nugget's survival. I look forward to seeing Nugget running throughout the pastures, picking at shoes, checking out Mama Brooke's earrings and being his normal, wonderful self! Nugget is beloved by everyone. He can now start to recover his strength and return to his 'Sheriff-ing' duties.

Poor Nugget! I’m glad you made the decision to check. That was very wise.

So grateful that Nugget and Goldie had you and Brooke. Xo Grateful

Poor Nugget and Goldie. 😢 You are good owners for making the decision for him.

Jason you and Brooke did what is best for Nugget. ❤️

I’m so sad for Nugget and Goldie and for you guys. Real life doesn’t always have a happy ending, but I know we were all rooting for baby Emu’s ! Love to you and blessings.🩷

Jason you need to have a talk with that young Nugget about girls that come by strutting their stuff and drawing the boys in! He showed that he has a heart of gold for Goldie! I think it was a really good decision to check the eggs. Let him recoup from this incredible dedication he just showed us and let him get back to being the sheriff! I bet you can hardly wait to have him wanting his snuggles with you again. ❤❤

Farm life is often difficult. Grief and disappointment are as much a part of it as the excitement and joy. I hope Nugget is back on his feet and recuperating. Blessings to you and yours. ❤️‍🩹

My sweet poor Nugget. I’m sorry buddy! You worked so hard. 😢❤️

So sorry Nuggo. Good job Jason and Brook. He didn't need to keep losing weight sitting on eggs that would never hatch.

I'm so glad you checked so that Nugget didn't have to sit any longer for no reason. I feel bad for him, but he may just be relieved it's over because apparently his instincts were telling him they were not viable.

Probably the rotten smell!

So sorry for Nugget! You did the right thing. He would stay there unnecessarily and make himself weak and frail. You two are wonderful with animals. God bless you! Prayers and hugs from Guam. 🙏🫂

I am saddened with the news but yes it’s obvious you made the right decision.

I’m so sorry guys. We were all looking forward to at least one emu egg hatching. But y’all did what was best for Nugget

The fact that at least one egg was fertile says that in fact Nugget did do his job. It is heartbreaking that none of the eggs were viable. However if and when it is meant to happen, then it will happen. No matter our heartbreak, I can’t imagine Brooke and Jason’s heartbreak. Yet they may have saved Nuggets life. In the end that is most important.

Oh bless all of you. So sad. Good decision for Nuggets sake. Y’all are great caretakers of these precious animals.

What a shame for the emus, Coghill and us viewers. You made the right decision though.

Sorry Nugget, no babies. You did the best you could.

If you google this, this is what I find Gently tapping the air end of an emu egg will give a duller sound when the chick is filling the air space. Eggs that make a sound like china being tapped could be infertile or bad.

It sucks when you click on a video and the 1st comment always spoils the whole video

You both sure did the right thing.

It was for the benefit of Nugget that the eggs were removed. How amazing that you learned so very much about this process.

Your pets are such a great priority. Your devotion and respect for their health and welfare is commendable.

You made the right decision.

I'm glad all the eggs were no good. If one of then would have had a viable Emu inside all of you and all of us would have been heartbroken.

So sorry for the loss of the eggs ! Felt bad for poor Nugget !Maybe next year they'll be successful ! ❤🌻🌻🌻

It’s all part of the learning process. You did the right thing made the right call always go with your gut instincts. They won’t steer you wrong. My heart goes out to Goldie and her husband, make a wonderful father someday!!

So sad for Nugget, he was so dedicated 😞I hope he will get back to his sweet self soon! Love you nugget ❤️So sad!

I'm so sorry there are no Nugget and Goldie babies. I just love your channel. It is so wholesome. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love you guys and your animals.

So sorry about eggs. Maybe next time. Best wishes to all of you.

I feel so bad for nugget after sitting for so long, makes me cry 😭 PS you guys made the right decision, nuggets heath is more important.

Well, no emu babies this year, so sorry. Jason, you and Brooke have talked with the experts and you did the right thing. Nugget is the one concern now. Thank you for sharing his journey on sitting on the eggs. Love you all.

That is so heartbreaking. I feel for Nugget, Goldie, Brooke and Jason. I'm glad you reached out to someone with more experience on emu eggs. You did the right thing. Hopefully Nugget will get back to his old self soon and be healthy.

Blessings to all the Cog Hill Family & Critters. I'm so sorry about the Emus' eggs being infertile. The thought of Nugg & Goldie prancing around with 15 or 16 little emus would have been priceless! God willing, perhaps next season. You did your best, & the Nuggster was faithful & true. Love them & you all. The Cog Squad's a bit sad tonight. But, LIFE goes on at the Farm. Hugs & Kisses to you all. Blessings too!❤❤❤❤

I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to Nugget, Goldie and you all. I'm glad you checked now.

Poor Nugget. Such a sweet boy. I'm glad you pulled them. Yet sad after all his efforts. Goldie too, it can't be easy popping out 17 big 'o eggs.. Y'all are the best.

Poor nugget and Goldie. I feel so bad for them.

We’re all so invested in these animals lives so this was hard to watch. Heart goes out to y”all ❤

I watched the whole video before deciding to comment. I’m glad you got some good Emu farmer friends who could give you advice on the eggs. It seems to me you made the right decision for Goldie and Nugget. You take such good care of all your animals and always get help and advice when needed. Love you guys ❤

I was waiting and watching; I was so concerned for all of you. I could feel Brooke’s disappointment. Y’all did the right thing for Nugget. I remember y’all saying from the beginning that y’all didn’t think Nugget and Goldie had mated. Let’s hope Nugget gets up soon and gets back to normal. You can tell Nugget loves and trusts y’all the way he laid there and let you check. Even Goldie remained calm. ❤❤

I'm sorry to hear the bad news about the emu eggs, but I'm glad that Nugget will be eating and drinking and returning to normal.💕

Awe, my heart is broken for Nugget and Goldie 😞. At least we know he will sit, so something was learned. OXOXO to you and all your family and animals ❣️

I am so sorry for the Cog Hill family loss. I cried for nugget and goldie. I know how disappointing it must be for you all. Just know you guys did a great job taking care of Nugget while he was on the eggs.

Sorry for Nuggets and Goldy's loss. You too. I know you were looking forward to baby Emus on the farm.

I wouldn't doubt Nugget yet. He knew about the other two so give him a little more time.

I love the 'Charlotte's Web' replica above Peache's sleeping quarters.

Aww maybe you could get one baby for nugget and goldie to adopt so it wont be so awful for them. Poor Nugget he really was being such a good daddy. 😢

Im so sorry for the loss. I voted for all the eggs hatching. Nugget and Goldie can try again later. Thank for taking us on their jurney. ❤❤❤❤❤

Sorry for your loss nugget and goldie you would of been magnificent parents ever ❤️ ♥️ Sorry Jason Brooke we known you were so excited about the baby emus being born on the farm Sorry everyone thanks heaps from Ronnie ❤️ ❤️ from Geelong Vic Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺 ❤️

Next time they will be awesome parents thanks heaps from Ronnie ❤️ ❤️ from Geelong Vic Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺 ❤️

Hard decisions are made, but it’s a good decision, sorry You beautiful birds! God bless

Sad for Nugget but glad you made the decision to check the eggs. ❤❤

So sorry the eggs were bad. Nugget did his best.

GOOD JOB WITH PHEPHE’s BABIES BROOKE, I CAN DEFINITELY SEE THOSE ROUNDED FULL TUMMIES TODAY👍🏼. God bless y’all🙏🏻🥰😇. Love and prayers always

So sorry about no babies for Goldie and Nugget. You take such good care of your animals. Thank you so much.

I think Nugget didn’t know to do step 1 breed with Goldie. He went straight to step 2 sit on the nest.

How sad is that!!! Poor Goldie and Nugget!!! Maybe next time!!! God Bless Us All!!!

You did the right thing and I just know Nugget will be up and back to his old self very soon. It’s more than obvious how much you guys love your animals. ❤

So sad. That poor baby boy. You made the right decision.

Poor Nugget. I hope he is resilient.

Sorry for Nugget and Goldie. So glad they have caring parents. 😢❤

So sad for Nugget and Goldie. You made the right decision for them and I do hope Nugget gets up soon. It was heart breaking that none of the eggs were viable.

Jason and Brooke I’m so sorry for Nugget and Goldie. I was so looking forward to seeing those babies hatch. 😢 Such is life and maybe it will happen in the future. ❤

There's always next year Nugget and Goldie. Big Hugs to you all. So sorry and we all were hoping to see baby's soon. I am proud of Mr. and Mrs. Cog for listening to the egg's and you did a lot of searching for information regarding the eggs.

We're so sorry for your loss Nugget and Goldie, better luck next time. 💔

Poor Nugget and Goldie. So sad. Love him up good!

It’s so sad for him. Nugget you did a great job

Right call! Protect the sheriff! Much love✌🏻🫶🏻

Awe so sad - we were all looking forward to a fleet of little Goldnuggets running around.

Such sad news but you made the right decision for Nugget's health.

Thank you for being great pet parents. Every one did their level best. Nugget and Goldie are hero parents too. Our hearts go out to Nugget and Goldie as they come to terms with this loss.

Poor Nugget thank goodness yall made the right and the best decision 💓 Love yall!🩷🩵💜💙

So very sorry Brooke and Jason. So very sorry for Nugget and Goldie. I pray he quickly recovers.

😭 Cried for Nugget who worked so hard for his babies 😭. That’s nature. You’ll have another chance to be a mommy Goldie. 😇🥚🥚🥚

I am SO thankful that Cog Hill Family Farm has two emus, male and female, that are both social and 'good natured with most other domesticated animals'. That, in itself, is a true Blessing. Yes, potential babies would have been appreciated and well loved. So Thankful for your concern and wise intervention . Once again, the three of you are conscientious and dependable care-takers ! TODAY, I love Cog Hill Family Farm even more than I did , yesterday ! 💔💝❤❌💯

He’s so good letting you go under him to get the eggs. It’s almost like he knows. At least you know that he is capable of sitting when there is a next go around. Poor Nugget and Goldie. You made the right decision. I remember how worried Lester was about Carl’s condition when he was sitting. Weird Mother Nature starves the parent to sit on the eggs.

Oh shoot 😢Not the news anyone wanted, was it. It's so hard to have to make those kinds of calls. Comfort and peace to Nugget, Goldie, Jason, Brooke, and MaryCarl and the rest of the CHF Nation 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

Poor Nugget and Goldie. I was so looking forward to little Goldie nuggets.

Heart broke. But there is always the next time. We love you Nugget and Goldie

Poor Nugget sat all that time for nothing. He did what comes naturally to him. I find that simply amazing. I'm so glad you decided to pull the eggs when you did. You did what was best for him. I do feel for both of them.

I'm so sorry for Nugget and the egg situation. He was working so hard.❤😢

I'm so so sorry about the babies not being fertile. I hope Nugget gets up and Goldie and Nugget try again. Blessing to you all😢❤

I'm so sorry about the eggs, and I hope Sheriff Nugget is back up.

Sorry for the loss think you made the right decision for the eggs be concerned for the living ones

Jason and Brooke, you don't need us to say you did the right thing. Of course you did. Nugget's well-being comes first. He's your buddy. Maybe the emus will try again at some point, but for now Nature is saying this is for the best.

Sorry Nugget, next year Goldie and Nugget, we love y’all trying, be well and safe Emu’s ❤. Good call CHF!

My heart breaks for nugget and goldie. Prayers for all! ❤️
