    Day 57

    Any luck with hatching? I see it's going to be about Day 64. If they don't hatch I highly recommend opening the eggs up to see what went wrong. Was there any development? If there was poke around and take a good look. It's how we learn. Take photos to document. Hoping you had hatches though and...

    Clueless about emu but INTRIGUED

    Lol. I’m guessing you have a 2 or 3 year old girl who hasn’t laid any eggs yet?

    If the blondes hatched in March they should both be old enough to breed the 2020 season. Just keep an eye around June when mate selection begins that the dominate female doesn’t start chasing away the non dominate girl. Sometimes it’s the male that will chase the non dominate female. It doesn’t...

    To my knowledge, only Alaska requires a special permit to own Emu.

    Clueless about emu but INTRIGUED

    Hi. I’m happy to be responding to you as an owner of 14 emus. (They are like potato chips, can’t have just one!) I LOVE my emus! They are sweet, funny, and independent. Having children around emus requires the same respect as having children around horses. They are a large animal so rules need...

    Your blondes are adorable as well. I’m sure they’ve grown since your avatar pic! I prefer to hatch my own and had originally planned to only keep and raise my own. I learned over the last few years though that you usually can not choose an emu’s mate. Once you have more than one adult couple...

    Thank you! We had visitors today that had never seen an emu, not even in a zoo. Most adults (especially men) are afraid to get near them but this one lady had no fear! She’s an animal whisperer for sure. Walked right in the paddock with 10 of them... 3 adults and 7 juveniles.

    Looking for Fertile Emu and ostrich eggs

    Warbirds Farm, Chris Barth, in Dunnellon Florida. Last time I checked with him he was selling fertile eggs for $35 + shipping. Highly recommend! He answers all questions. We got 3 eggs from him a few years ago and all 3 hatched. Very healthy and friendly Emu chicks. He moderates an emu forum on...

    HOW TO LOWER HUMIDITY

    I know this is an older post, but for anyone who comes across this looking for information, you can not measure the air cell growth in an emu egg. For anyone who lives in a humid climate, do a dry hatch (don’t add any water to the incubator) if the humidity is close to or over 35%. You can put...

    Thank you for posting that update. I realize this is from last year but with emu hatching season just starting again this question will surely come back up. Had it still been a viable egg they wouldn’t have felt any movement, so along with the substance on the egg that was another sign the egg...
