Hello all!
I've posted previously about our mating pair of emus laying a clutch and four chicks hatching. I am raising them currently and they're about seven weeks old. Next week we go to the vet (field trip) for vaccinations and blood testing to determine sex (I was not able to match eggshell...
Hi Everyone hope everybody is doing well.
I wanted to start a new thread since i cant find many information on this topic.
I have 4 emus and wanted to know what do you guys feed other than ratite feed to your emus?
Does anyone have like a recipe of mix and how much protein does that equal too...
Eh, I take a bunch of pics of the emu mob, my main muse is my largest male Khaos Hyperion.
Got some pretty good ones this morning and wanted to share! Enjoy!!
:wee:wee
I had a pair of 18 month old emus delivered to me two weeks ago and all seemed fine, running around, eating, drinking. Around the first week mark I noticed a slight limp on my male emus left leg and now it has gotten worse to where he doesn’t like to put pressure on it. I went down to inspect it...
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have one of the closest living relatives of a dinosaur roaming in your backyard, besides chickens? Are you looking into getting something more exotic and bigger than your average bird? If you have looked into raising emus or want to know more about...
I have a hen that is sitting on about 10 fertile eggs right now. It's only day 3 so I'm not making major plans, but I would like to get advice on whether or not I should separate the hen and chicks when they hatch. I don't mean separate as in take the chicks from the mother, I mean move the hen...
Hi,
I have a 1 year old emu and she lives at my ranch. However, there is no shed or shelter in her pen, only a large tree that provides shade. Since emus wake up several times at night, I was thinking about putting a small solar light in the pen so that she could see where she’s walking at...
Hello,
Super excited to find this page. I just bought two emus and brought them home and have a little make shift area for them at night in our back porch (screened in), an area for them to run in during the day.
I named the girl, jelly bean and fella, gum ball.
Absolutely in love. We sit with...
Hello All,
I purchased 3 eggs at the beginning of this year for incubation and had 1/3 hatch. Now I have a wonderful pet emu that lives on my ranch out in Napa, CA. He is a great bird, but I believe he is lonely. I am looking for an additional emu to add to my flock to cheer him up. If anyone...
Hello! I know I'm not the only one here, who else doesn't have chickens? I want chickens, but due to city ordinances, I cant. But I do have pigeons and quail :) so who else doesn't have chickens? Join in!
Hello!
I have a pretty random question for you all, so I plan on traveling to Australia for a visit at some point, and I was curious if there are any flight or international flight regulations with flying with fertile Emu eggs or even small Emu chicks? Is it allowed? I've been researching...
Hi all!! I am looking for some fertile emu eggs/chicks from multiple clutches so that I can raise them up on my farm and use them as livestock guardians. I am looking for separate clutches so that I do have in breeding when they mate. Looking to purchase multiple so greater my chances! I look...
Hello!
I've been considering getting some emus in the future - probably within the next few years (strictly as pets). I've always wanted some. I like to plan things out in advance and really understand what I'm getting into before I buy any animal(s). So I have a few questions that I can think...
In February I purchased 3 emu eggs. I was so excited to start this new journey. In the incubator they go. My Hubby and daughter weigh them once a week to ensure that we were on track. Then we started the wiggle test... so exciting...then the first one started to hatch- we had to help the little...
Hello all! I am incubating four emu eggs that were shipped to me and are all due by the end of April. If I get one of four, or even less.. are there any emu breeders in Colorado selling chicks or hatching eggs? I may be looking for some chicks if that happens to be the case. Any information...
Hey y'all!
My boyfriend and I are trying to figure out if anyone sells diapers for Emu's, or if anyone has had any luck making one. We would love for our 4 week old Emu to continue to stay inside with us for a while. He sleeps in bed with us sometimes... He loves it, and we love it too! But...
PLEASE ONLY EXPERIENCED EMU HATCHERS ONLY!
Hello,
I am on day 34 of the incubation process of an emu egg. My temperature is 96.5 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity stays around 50% but I added a bowl of water inside. I did weigh the egg but it is not digital so it is hard to get an exact weight...
