None of thos symptoms. Have started treatment for wry neck, with vitamin e and Selenium paste and nutri Drench. He is starting to act normal again. Up walking and eating drinking on his own. He was getting all balled up while standing up. Since we started the vitamins and electrolytes I've only...

I recently hatched 4 emu chicks. The first one to hatch was by far the smallest has been fine for a week but mid day today I started noticing odd behavior. He/she seems lethargic the other 4 are up and alert this one always seems to be sleeping. When he is awake he seems fine but...

Hey all!! I just want to thank this community foe the help, I've scoured the forums over and over! We hatched 2 out of 4 emu ages today and the other 2 are still wiggling and moving to whistles! What a journey and it really does take adaptation to you specific situation but I am beyond pleased...
Update Update!! We sadly cut our loss on the first batch of 3 eggs after 60 days..however today we hatched 2 out of the 4 in the second round!!! We have emus!! The other two are still wiggling so I still have hope!! I've never felt so accomplished and proud in my life!
