    holding chicks

    I'm impressed! Not very good at picking up mine. Always get slashed! Keep joking with my husband that I'm going to end up a Were-Emu!

    Emu Chick info on splayed legs

    Unfortunately one of our two month old chicks has a really bad splayed leg. We thought it was getting a little better after he got in the bigger pen and was getting more exercise. However, the last two days he can barely walk. His leg is turned all the way around. I guess my question is, how do...

    Suggestions! How to feed my emus without the goats eating all their food

    I'd like a solution for this too! We actually have a "catch pen" situation we have set up behind our mini-barns that we close the emu in during feeding to keep the greedy alpacas out. As soon as she is done, we open the gates. But we do have to wait for her to finish eating, and can't leave feed...

    Here is a beautiful portrait of our adult female. I can't wait for the other two to get big enough to keep her company! Her name is Thing One. The two babies we have named Zig and Zag.

    Okay ... I was just going to wipe them down with a washcloth. They seem to get themselves pretty poopy!

    We picked up our chicks last Sunday! I have named them Zig and Zag :) They are doing well, but the weather here has been so cold we are having to keep them on the enclosed back porch with the heat on. I put them in a GIANT dog crate at night, but during the day I've set up a dog exercise pen...

    Do you think guinea fowl would do okay with the emus? And vice versa? They would also be in with the alpacas. I don't anything about guineas... are they easy to take care of? I think one of my neighbors was considering getting some soon. Maybe I will look into that also. I am trying to find a...

    Got the final results on the necropsy for Thing Two. Seems it was the tick bite that started a chain reaction of infections. Along with the cold weather he was not able to shake it. The tick bite caused Teflitis (sp?) which caused him not to be able to digest his food. So although he was eating...

    You might want to have Fred checked for gout. Thing Two had a funny walk too, but didn't realize until after he died it might have been from gout. I am not exactly sure how to treat for gout, but I have read that there are treatments, such as lowering the amount of protein and calcium in their...

    Can anyone come get this emu?

    REALLY wish we were closer... we just lost one of our two and our female is very lonely. We are in Kentucky near Bardstown. We are searching for a new companion for her. If there was any way to get her her we would be glad to have her!

    Sounds like what happened to Thing Two (ours were named Thing One and Thing Two). Were you looking to find a home for Fred or is happy with all those chicks? We have made so many phone calls and inquiries to every place we can find on line to ask about getting another emu but so far no luck.

    Ivermectin paste dosage for emus?

    I think I figured out that the dosage is the same as for horses... I was eventually able to get it put inside a sliced grape for one emu, and mixed with the feed for the other emu (who doesn't like grapes!).

    First the Vet...
