Hello,
For the past 2-3 days, I have noticed a white lens forming on the right eye of my emu. I’m not sure if it’s a cataract or nuclear sclerosis. Today, I checked on it and it looked like she was trying to scratch the eye with her foot. It also looked like there was some water discharge...
Hi,
I have a 1 year old emu and she lives at my ranch. However, there is no shed or shelter in her pen, only a large tree that provides shade. Since emus wake up several times at night, I was thinking about putting a small solar light in the pen so that she could see where she’s walking at...
Hi,
I have a 14 month old female emu that I hatched in June 2019, and lately for the past two weeks, I have noticed that she stands tall and looks angry whenever I try petting her. All of a sudden it started happening. The outside temperature has been around 90-100 for the past two weeks. Could...
Hi,
I have the Chinese 48 egg incubator and I was wondering if there is any way to make the eggs rotate 3 times a day, instead of every two hours? Is there somewhere to change the settings of the rotation times? A picture of the incubator is below.
Thank You!
Hi,
I know that Christmas was yesterday but I would still like to get my 6 month old emu something. What should I get? She likes things that are bright and colorful.

Hi
Two months ago I hatched an emu and it's nails have been growing very fast. The nails are long enough that it is starting to turn one of the toes when it walks because it looks like the nail is too long and it doesn't let the emu run properly. I felt the bottom of the toe and the toe pad is...

Hi
I have an amu egg and it is at day 50 which is when it's supposed to hatch. The emu just peeped at me and right now it is making a weird noise inside the egg. It kind of sounds like when someone blows bubbles under water. What should I do? Should I make a safety hole? It was peeping every...

Hi

Thank You!
