    Emu Questions

    #1- By climbing, do you mean jumping? All my fences are around 5 ft. I’ve only had an emu jump it once, and that was because of a porcupine incident. If the emus are happy I wouldn’t worry too much about them escaping. But better to get fencing around 6ft. #2- if they are exposed to the other...

    Kiddie Pool for Emus??

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to a certain type/brand of kiddie pool I can purchase for my emus? They absolutely love splashing around in the summer but are now too big to fit into a bucket. I’m hoping to find one that isn’t super slippery on the bottom and is big enough so they can step...

    Emus with Chickens

    Sorry this is late I have 2 emus that live with my chickens. They were introduced to the chickens when they were babies. When they were under a year old they would get playful and chase the chickens but once they got to be over a year they settled down and kind of just ignored them. A place for...

    Sick rooster, messy butt and scaly leg mites?

    I felt his crop this morning and it was full! Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Gave him coconut oil and massaged his crop. I’m hoping he’ll get better but I might have to make him throw up.

    Sick rooster, messy butt and scaly leg mites?

    One of my roosters is suddenly acting weak. He has a messy butt, but it does not look like it is clogged. When I picked him up he also vomited clear liquid. Below is a picture of his feet, could this be scaly leg mites? If so, is that what is causing his sickness? Not too long ago I noticed...

    Any cold weather emu owners here?

    I’m afraid they would peck and pull at the heat lamps, but warm waters a good idea.

    Any cold weather emu owners here?

    Its been particularly cold recently, with the lows dropping to 4 degrees (F). I’ve noticed my older emu who’s about 1.5 years old has been acting like he’s cold a lot, he shivers even when he’s lying down and when he walks in the snow I can tell it bothers his feet, what’s the chance of...

    Pros and Cons to Keeping Emu....help, please.

    Keep in mind the males are more timid and less aggressive than the females. They need lots of room and foraging space to be happy. If you live somewhere hot, they love water to swim in or just getting hosed down. They love to socialize so definitely get more than one. Mine never try to jump the...
