Thank you, I really appreciate that advice and it gives me some kind of time scale too, I had no idea it would be that long but I am sure we will manage, I just want to do this right so no one gets hurt by the adults. It is just a matter of waiting for them to grow now then :-) Thank you for...

Hi, I wonder if you could offer advice please. I have 3 baby emu which I hatched from eggs, the parents live in my field which is 2 1/2 acres and fenced properly. The babies were reared at home in an incubator and have lived in my conservatory and garden until now, they are around 4 months old...

I have to agree with the posts above, you would need at least an acre for your emu to be able to run around, they can go some distance and quickly too, they enjoy playing and chasing so they do need this space, I would hate to see emu penned in to a small space.

Thanks! Well they are doing really well now, my friend hatched one in her incubator, s/he was the first to hatch, then my first one, then around a week later there came another one, the second one here didn't take to eating so well, preferring greens to pellets, but now, well I can't believe...

Thanks for your reply, yes he has a cuddly friend. I didn't know about putting the eggs in in a batch when I incubated them so did them as they were laid, the next chick is due Wednesday / Thursday. He is now on day 4 and has started to eat bits of boiled egg this afternoon. He was attracted to...

Hi, Could you please hep me. I have my first emu hatchling, this is the first time I have bred my emu, I am really struggling to get him to eat anything, he has absorbed his yolk sac, but is taking very small bits of water and hardly any food, just pecking at the occassional chick crumb if I...

I wish someone had answered this as I need to know exactly the same thing for the same reason. One of our turkeys has a splayed leg, about 3 weeks old, I have been feeding him the crumb I would give to ducklings as I thought the higher protein than chicken crumb would benefit it. Does anyone...

Hi, I have the same problem, there are various sites out there that can tell you info. You want to feed a high protein diet, I have mine on the food I bought for my runner ducks. What I would like to ask is that I want to move mum and her babies to somewhere clean, it has got messy where she...

When he is not puffed up you can feel his breast bone now. He doesnt live there all the time, athough he will do soon when I have got the fencing up, too many foxes and badgers really, but we are getting alpacas in the next week or so and they keep foxes away. Just hope he can get there. I am...

Thanks for your reply, I never figured that his food may be off, I shall get him some different food and see if we have more luck with that. Here is a picture of him, I bought him as a Bourbon Red. I have sniffed his food and since this is the first bag I have bought then I am not sure what it...

An update, he is eating well on salad greens, bananas and stuff from the kitchen but not his turkey pellets so it looks like he may be a fussy eater.

I should add that I don't know how old he is since the auction did not give that information but he seems full grown. We feed him on turkey pellets bought from our local farm supplies. He free ranges and sleeps in a large shed at night, he was offered a perch but seems to prefer sitting on a...

Hi, I am new here, this seems like a great site for info. I am new to keeping turkeys and trying to find information on the internet about them is quite tricky. Anyway, I hope that you can help. I picked up 2 turkey stags from a poultry auction, my friend fell in love with them and took one off...
