Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Wow, love all the hen pictures! Especially those Marans and the levitating chicken.

I found fertile Emu eggs! I've taken the chance and ordered 6. I really don't know how they'll turn out, but I look forward to finding out.

If I've bitten off more than I can chew, I'll sell the chicks after they hatch (hopefully some will hatch). Once they go into the incubator, it'll 56 days or so until they hatch.

Don't you need a license to keep emus, Colourful?

They will be normal feathered, likely to have 5 toes on each foot, darker skin but not as dark as a silkie, brown eyes, may or may not have white/blue ear lobes, small crests. (They basically have a pekin body with normal feathers and a silkie head and feet)
Hope you can make sense of that lol.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense, cheers dude. How does one go about learning dominant traits like that? Seems like a **** useful skill.

Reading way to much about chickens on an Australian forum lol. I can PM you the name of the forum if you like.
