The 'three CC to a gallon of water' is bogus information as SG is not water soluble although there is a water soluble version out now that is terribly expensive and hard to dose correctly. We do not concern ourselves with egg withdrawal because we don't eat pea eggs and have found it does not...
I have read a couple of reports on the foreplay and coitus that I am looking for. The 'snake' dance being the first act, and the dancing around sounds like courtship. Then they go to the ground with him easing up on her slowly. I will report to you our observations. She has been a little...
Our two emu turned into five and we are waiting on a White hen. I think Mumu is starting to settle down. She has a habit of taking a two-day walkabout every week or so but has been staying home for a while now. I guess she hasn't found a better cock so Limu will have to do. She chases him a...

Peas are like kids, they are all different in their behavior. Just because some get aggressive as grown cocks defending their territory not all do. get the White DNA sex tested and if a hen keep her imprinted. The two cocks you can just not handle and they will end up just tame where you can...
They are just as likely to be calm, sweet, and loving as they are to being completely psychotic and dangerous. Of our five emu two love to be held and petted, two will let you pet them and one we can't get close to. In peafowl, imprinting a cock can lead to a bird with no fear of humans that...
Having had emu's for only a few weeks I am not much help but I would get the trio and look for someone to trade hens with. Being hatch mates is not necessarily going to mean they are full-on brother and sisters, but getting a non-related hen would be a good idea.
