I've decided I want one of these unusual colored ones to replace my Emu that was killed by the bobcat. (my surviving Emu is put up at night now, so no I wont be putting him or any new Emu at risk again).

Why are these so hard to find? Does anyone know where I could get one? There has to be more then one breeder in all of North America...

I think it just occurs naturally..there is no special breeding to create the lighter color. I have 4 emu right now (all about 10 months old) and one of my is more of a cream (think cream of mushroom soup) color. Definitely different that the darker grey and black Emu's. He's really cool looking, and smaller than the other 3 as well. I'll see if I can snap a couple photos tomorrow.

I also have one that came out very light in color seems to be getting lighter every day. He was the last egg hatched last season in late may or early june.

Did you buy the eggs, or is it from your birds

I believe this one came from the eggs I got from Foulman ( I think)..otherwise I did buy some from an Emu ranch down in Tenessee as well, so it came from one of those two.

Is anyone selling potential blonde eggs?

I might be getting an egg from pidgey at the lake city show this weekend.

(Not a blonde one though)

The only place I found that has them. Not sure if they sell any, but they have them.
