Never mind found them a local home.

Got a young adolescent pair in ( about five months old now ) Columbia sc. Can travel a bit to meet you halfway.

It would be my best guess that a pair brought up together. As a flock albeit a small flock of two. Would not or very rarely mate, it seems to me a young male would look outside of its flock for a mate. I brought two males in with a female to up my chances. The first year I kept 4 young with the...

She or he may have a sprain in it's knee. Did you look at my photo? Did you take it to a vet yet? I have hatched over 50 chicks I am not an expert nor claim to be. But I have seen splay in emu twice for real in person . Your pics don't show that. Thank god for that. The remedy for splay in emu...

Emus are not chickens or ducks. Please look at my avatar photo this is what the emus splay leg looks like .it's a lack of development in the thigh. Not an inflamed joint issue. It is most likely a genetic disorder or a parental nutrition issue. I have hatch many chicks and have seen it two times...

Due to their insulating nature of feathers they won't get the shock. They will be out and roaming the countryside in minutes. As for easy to drown as soon as mine can hold their necks up they are swimming. In a cramped space with a big bowl and their need to dog pile , that's a unfamiliar thing...

They usually wont have much interest in food till they are two or three days old. You have to teach them to eat and drink I won't sell mine till they are eating drinking and up and running. To teach them you need to mix in some tiny cut up greens mix them in with the crumble or starter feed a...

Wow they are all early. #3 pipped and popped in a few hours. 9 more to go! Now to not get attached to them so they can go to their new homes. How many eggs will a female lay on a season? Mine laid 32 her first 9 last( let the male hatchem) and only 20 this year. Weird weather maybe?

I found their nest right in the middle of a well traveled path. 4 in it then one more laid on the 6th. Watched my female lay one last night. She was pacing the chain link fence back and forth for about 15 minutes. She was making a low chirping sound . Like a car starter that just won't engage...

Ahh. The emu Language here is what I got. Booming deep low and penetrating .male or female Grunt a bit higher pitch than a booming . A nasal sound . Usually male A hiss brought on by an unfamiliar encounter. and as a warning to the chicks by a male. Females also do this. Growl lots of these...

Don't leave out India they might have more birds than austraila.

I know mine are laying I just need a professional egg hunter. They have 2 acres to hide them in 1.5 feet deep leaves and pine straw .
