Oh I did NOT need to see this thread.

They kindly wrote me back. They do sell the white chicks for $1500 because they hatch so little of them there and they must be picked up at their ranch in TX. Afraid right now hubby would kill me if I did that now..... But one day maybe.

1500

Man, now i really hope my cream colored one, lays some eggs that are white chicks....I'll charge 1/2 that and I'll be happy!!! Holy cow.

makes me wonder if my girl has a white streak in her. do you think that chick was one of my eggs?

I think it possibly is...as it is my youngest bird, and I believe I got my last set of eggs from you last year. So I'm not 100% positive, but am pretty sure it came from you.

I've been seeing a few pics and posts on various sites showing "blond emus" and "white emus." One site mentioned that they are the same mutation, the blonds being heterozygous and the whites being homozygous. I guess it is inherited the same as B/B/S in chickens, which would make the blonds equal to blues, and the whites equal to splashes. Does anyone here have any? I'd love to see more pictures. And I haven't been able to find prices listed for them, though I expect them to be rather high. By the time I could have any, I'm sure they will be much more reasonable.
