Ok awesome. You all helped a lot. I will go to the feed store later this week. Ours is really good about having emu feed on hand but I doubt they would have the emu chick starter. Thankfully we have everything except the chick starter and I grow our greens in a garden out front so I'm a little...
As we get closer to out emu hatching I just want to make sure that we got this right.
For feeding them I should get chick starter and turkey fed and mix them together right? Then offer a variety of fruits and veggies for them to pick from? Thanks in advance. I'm getting nervous!!
Interesting! Thanks for the info about the feed. I had also been wondering a bit on what we were going to feed them but I have all of these on hand.
I guess they need heat too. Is it the same ad for chickens? 90 to start with then decrease by 5-10?
Thanks!
Neat!!
I try not to worry too much and know that nature has this all figured out more than I do but since he is the sweetest of them all I couldn't help but worry. :)
Here in Texas we got some genuine 'Texas snow'. I was so worried about my boy sitting on his nest but he made it through just fine. I'm thankful too because he is my favorite!
I'm also thankful it will be 75 on Sunday.
I will join!
I don't have an actual hatch date...I think mid- late February. Heck I don't even know how many.
The Male has been on the nest for a week or two now.
