    Emu - anyone used leg bands for older birds?

    We've had these https://nationalband.com/products/multi-loc-plastic-band-1703/ on our three emus (all girls; we're figuring out how to get some boys), size small. The girls are 13 months old.

    Question about meat emus

    I have seen so much info that if an emu chick develops splayed legs, there's no way to recover. I'm wondering if that means that there's no way to raise them to slaughter weight? I. E., they don't survive/thrive long enough with the deformation?

    Emus have arrived!

    We did stop briefly at our niece's house so her daughter could meet the babies. They'll be visiting in June for family reunion, and I know the chicks will be at least as tall as she is!

    Emus have arrived!

    Thanks to ES Emus, the WiltonHilton now has a trio of adorable emus! They handled the 5 hour drive home very well, and are currently enslaving our daughter. She is completely smitten, and I suspect I might get a *little* tired of "OMG, they're so CUUUUUUTE!" squeals of infatuation. I assured...

    Incubator Size? (Help please!)

    Call a, thanks so much! We're still quite far away from incubating our own,but this info will definitely be helpful when we do. Right now, we're discussing fence type and planning on where their paddock will go; I would like to have everything at 80% completion by the time any emu chicks come...

    Incubator Size? (Help please!)

    Why do you have the automatic turner off? We have a Brinsea Octagon, too, and we wondering how many emu eggs would fit in it. We're planning on starting with emu chicks, but eventually want to hatch our own eggs, so this would be great information to have.

    Chicken math works in mysterious ways...

    We just recently moved our 15 chicks (5-7 weeks old) out to their palace... And last night, beloved husband was poking around on the net and purchased a dozen Narragansett eggs and an egg brooder. So, I'm going have to do a lot of new research here, LOLOLOLOL I wonder what's next... Hm...

    I'm just so happy!

    Our coop is done (done enough for secure chick-chicks, anyway), and our 4-6 week old chicks, who have been in their coop for only about 2 weeks had a big day today: they figured out their nipple waterers in about 15 minutes, and 10ish out of the 15 have discovered roosting tonight! They...

    Coop color??

    My coop is a lovely light green that Home Depot calls "corn husk green" trimmed with white. I like it very much!

    Let's see if being on my laptop helps... Wow. I guess it does! Anyway, at the top of the photo, you can see the vent door that drops down for evn MORE ventilation... Now let's see if my cell phone's camera can give an OK view of the inside: The yellow arrows point to the upper vents, which...

    posting pictures

    I was just trying to upload additional pix of the coop we just finished, and the app/website-on-mobile-Chrome would not let me. It said it wasn't completed due to "low memory." Then I got a link to the photos' location in my Google album, instead that, but no thumbnail came up, and the small...

    Weird. I can't upload to BYC due to "low memory" and the link to my photos on Google isn't working. (pouts)
