Thank you.

Will a young hen,less than yr, sit in nesting area for couple hours and not lay a egg? She was laying 3 in a row and skip a day but now she still acts like she's laying but there's no egg. Maybe every other day there's an egg.

A update on dad and chicks. I got 3 of the chicks yesterday. He finally came down to the feeder at the goat yard. With a fence between us I put out food on my side for the chicks and they came thru and I was able to apprehend 3 of them. Now he still has 2 one of his and one he took from another...

It is going slow. Now they are always in the middle and not at the fence. But I am tossing food to chicks trying to get them to trust me. I hope they are not grown before I accomplish this. I always think look at them I could put the net over all 4 at once. Then look at daddy and think hmmm look...

When I went to see them yesterday as I approached the chicks ran thru the fence onto neighbors property, not far just outside the fence. If I can enlist my neighbor for help I think I can use this. The dad is receptive to me and will eat out of food dish with me holding it. I HAVE NOT tried to...

Ah I'm in trouble. I cannot let him raise them. There are 4 chicks. I intended on incubating the eggs but he was setting on them before I could even find the nest. Is there anything that I can use as sedation for him?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the emu chicks away from dad? He has never been aggressive but I know he is VERY protective of his chicks.

I let the chick out Quilla is still pecking a little at him (it) then she sat down like she wanted to be bred? What do y'all think? I think she says "Quit following me!" and then pecks at him.

This was my previous LGD (RIP) she and Quilla were great pals. Quilla and the new LGD's get along just as great. As a matter of fact if Patrick or Sarah Faye (Emus) try to chase Quilla the LGD's run them off, protecting Quilla. The dogs are only friendly with Quilla none of the other Emus. :)

Do you think that leaving the chick in the pen so Quilla (female) can see and adjust but not touch she'll get accustomed? How long do u think. It has been @ 2 weeks. The chick wants to be w/her but I think aggravated her by following her around.

I have a Emu chick @ 4 months old that I would like to live w/ an older (adult) female. I put them together but by the end of the day she was kicking and pecking it so I had to put the chick alone in a separate pen. They can still see each other but the adult cannot reach the chick. Just a chain...

THat should say ATTACKS whenever strangers are present. She is afraid of the strangers and leaves us alone if we stand next to them but runs for us if we walk away from them. CRAZY bird!! She also got crazed because a strange truck went to the neighbors across the street!

Does anyone have any idea why our extremely docile, loving female emu whenever there are strangers present? She doesn't try to attack the strangers she attacks us. I thought it was just when guys were here working (building things) that she acts this way but today she was crazed because my...

Thanks for the great info! Well maybe they will at least live in the same area! He loves the baby so much hard to picture being at odds with each other. Sarah Faye the mom emu takes part in watching over baby too! Thanks again for info will start working on it right away!

Yes Patrick will keep his chick for..ever. It is such a joy to watch Patrick has his hands? full the chick runs all over the place w/Patrick hot on his heels:) I love watching mom, pop and baby taking strolls thru the woods together. Any ideas on if Patrick will ever let me touch the chick. I...

So Happy!! So is the bulls eye on top of the head boy or girl? I didn't see anything but lines on top of this babes head.

He has been sitting 67 days. I checked him this am @ 7 and nothing BUT my neighbor just called and she said she saw a chick + 7 eggs. A LIVE chick wobbly and Patrick pulled the chick under him when they got closer. Is there anything I can do for those nasty flies? Thank you!!
