    FEMALE Emu setting on nest indefinately?

    Interesting. Evie is still sitting. Mom took down some food and water and Evie stood up and was able to count the eggs and she still had the same old eggs, no new ones. There is no way the eggs are viable, just wondering if anyone has ever seen this behavior. It will be interesting to see how...

    Can muscovy ducks go lesbian?

    Ok, I just videotaped two of our female Muscovys humping and the girl on top was ejectulating!! Yes, it was a female, everyone agrees it was two females. Yes, we have lots of male Muscovys around but may not have an equal amount if makes and females. No, there was no penis visible but there was...

    10 Crossbred Cockerels 2 to 6 months old (too many hens snuck off and hid out with clutches of eggs this year, just found another hen on a nest under the tractor a few days ago so we will have more soon.

    3 females & 1 male, 1 or all is sterile!

    Mom has 4 Pearl Gray colored, Helmeted Guinea Fowl, that she bought three years ago from the feed store. Three turned out to be females and one is a male. He has a favorite female he breeds often that is for sure, but none of the eggs are fertile. We assume it is the male that is infertile, it...

    Half-Naked Bird is Sunburning. What can I do to help?

    Domesticated turkeys can't fly except when they are babies, they are too heavy to support their own weight. Same for male Muscovy ducks.

    Half-Naked Bird is Sunburning. What can I do to help?

    How awful, picking them up by their wings just seems really ignorant!

    Half-Naked Bird is Sunburning. What can I do to help?

    We used to have turkeys, they were terribly friendly and followed us everywhere. We rescued them and later found them new homes. When we walked up to them they just sat down so we just picked them up like we would any other bird, sort of tuck them under our arm, holding their wings down and...

    How to keep flies out of the chicken coop/run in the summer?

    My mom and I went to a horse farm a few years back to pick up a goat and were amazed at the fact that they do not have a fly problem so we asked them. They use Fly Predator bugs. They are these bugs that you dump on the poop around the farm. The kill the fly larva so the flies can't hatch and...

    Will free-range guineas survive deer dog season?

    All our birds free range on about 4 acres of land during the daytime. We have ducks, geese, 4 Guinea fowl, and are down to about 100 chickens in 2 different coops. We got our Guineas as keets and raised them in a small building we use for raising chicks and caring for any injured or sick birds...

    1 female and 3 male guineas

    Mom has 4 guineas, two males and two females and none of the eggs she gets are fertile. We had a duck setting on a huge clutch of eggs and Mom started gathering the newly laid eggs and put them in the incubator. Nothing happened. We started checking the eggs for fertility and they do not appear...

    Guinea eggs not hatching?

    Anyone ever figure out what was up with the Guinea Fowl eggs? None of our guinea eggs are fertile. I read one reference in another message string where someone said if the male and female are together all the time the male won't breed the female unless she asks. We have never seen our two males...

    How many eggs b4 the male Emu sets? How long can eggs last outside or in fridge and be viable?

    They are definitely breeding, we have seen them at varying times of the day and night for months now and poor Evie has a significant bald spot on the back of her head. Frankly I had no idea their breeding season would last so long. We checked the fertility of the eggs months ago before we sold...

    How many eggs b4 the male Emu sets? How long can eggs last outside or in fridge and be viable?

    We have a single pair of emus, this is the first year we are getting eggs, though our current female has laid before and our male has hatched eggs in previous years, though not last year as our female became egg bound and passed. These two have been together for a good 8+ month. For a time our...

    Emu pictures and stories.... post them here

    Llama's are great guards for any animal and, for us, easier to care for then most livestock they protect! Oue emu actually helped keep flying predators away from our chickens until we moved them to the pasture with the large animals.

    male emu sitting on eggs

    I would not worry about him, he knows what he is doing and chose the nesting spot and he is doing exactly what they do in the wild. They do not move or eat much, if at all. They breed at night so it is possible any feeding or drinking he may do is also going to be done at night. They can be very...

    A few questions about emus

    All I can tell you is about our experiences, as I am no emu expert. We raised one emu, Emily, for 6+ years on her own. When she was a baby she was raised with the chickens and when she got older we moved her into the bigger field with the goats, llamas, two sheep and the occasional pig. We...
