We bought Emu eggs from UK and took them to Spain and put in incubator. Box was badly damaged when it arrived and to cut a long story short, only 1 Emu hatched.
Emu has been very happy for 3 weeks, lively, strong and seemed healthy. This morning we discovered it had died in the night and we have no idea why.......except we bought 4 ducks a week ago which we put in with him/her - would anyone know if this is likely to be the reason, could the ducks have passed a disease on to the Emu? I just can't think of any other reason as Emu seemed fine.
The ducks were bought for company for the Emu, but in fact they didn't really let him/her near them, hope he/she didn't die of a broken heart :-(
