    Anyone looking for chicks in central California?

    Hi all, I'm looking to get some chicks for my newly renovated coop. The local hatchery in Fresno, CA has a 25 chick minimum. I only need 10-12 chicks. Anyone want to split an order?

    emu questions

    I'm no expert for sure, but from my experience, feeding amount depends on environment. If they green pasture, they will graze and eat less pellets. I would say my adult emus eat about 1 to 1.5 pounds of ratite pellet per day. And during the breading season, about half of that. My female lays an...

    Will my emus lay Eggs?

    I have 6 eggs in the incubator as we speak. Hatch should be around 3/17. My female stopped laying last week, but she's done this before and starting laying again. So i might have some fertile eggs available if you're interested.

    Emu pictures and stories.... post them here

    No, I wouldn't say they were loud. They do make some noise, however. The males kind of grunt like a pig. And the females make a drumming noise.

    our first egg!!!

    Our female, Felicia, is finally laying! She got a late start this year. Egg #2 arrived on Christmas Eve, 574g, and egg #3 just arrived today, 592g. Keeping them at 55° and turning daily. Will incubate once we have 6 good ones. Wish us luck!

    our first egg!!!

    We just got home from vacation in Florida and found our first egg of the season. Unfortunately it was cracked. Probably due to coming out too early, no dark emerald coating (also known as a chalky egg). Hoping for egg #2 soon!

    Only a small hole has been made by this little guy. Is this "normal"?
