I'm pretty sure no one ever spends time with her. I've been told she "bites" and doesnt like people, but she follows everyone that walks by her pen (which also isnt very big).

Do they do well alone? There is an emu at a park/petting zoo near me and he/she has been there for years all by itself.
Can I join? These are my grey runners, I have 9 adults and 20 ducklings, with more hatching almost every weekend.
