    Selling Emu Eggs

    First off I just want you to know emus are not very profitable at least when you are selling just the eggs. Emus can easily eat several pounds of feed in a day and a non fertaile egg will sell for $10-25.(emus will lay somewhere between 0-40 eggs to my knowledge). As for who to sell them to I...

    Emu Eggs for sale, ship US

    Hello I’m just curious what state you’re located in because emus have a very specific laying season and rarely lay eggs during the summer months here in the US.

    Rain. I feel like a bad mama.

    The hatchery just gives you that estimate to attempt to eliminate any fatalities. Chicks can be exposed to rain sooner than most would think. As Long as the chicks have a dry place they are perfectly fine. Usually rain doesn’t kill unless the birds don’t have protection and the temperature is...

    Help identifying plant with berries

    I’m pretty sure that is black nightshade https://extension.wsu.edu/whitman/2013/11/black-nightshade/ Toxicity: Moderate. While the plant itself is very toxic, it is also unpalatable, and rarely does an animal consume enough to cause a serious or potentially lethal poisoning. Toxic risk is...

    Emu number 1 has hatched

    When I first hatched emus the first on hatched on day 49/50 and the other four hatched from day 55-59. Don’t worry yet. If you lay the egg(s) on a flat surface and watch you may be able to see it wiggle and roll and one side of the egg will be noticeably warmer also at this age the chicks will...

    Emus? Why?

    I’ve raised emus for around a year now. Although it feels like a lot longer. We have seven in total now and we had one mature female this past winter (she laid no eggs this winter). Emus can eat a lot and in that sense they are extremely expensive our seven can easily eat 50 pounds of feed in a...

    Human infection

    If you have the slightest concern for your child remember no birds are worth the health of your child, you, or you family. Put the chicks outside, at 5 weeks old they should be fine you could supply a heat lamp if you feel the need.

    Emus???

    As drumstick diva mentioned the main concern with emus with other “fowl” is trampling. Our emus roam the same fenced in area with chickens, ducks, and turkeys. We have yet to see them purposely or even step on the other smaller birds. Although there has been a few times where the turkeys got a...

    Lockdown Today, do I candle or not?

    I would just let them sit. But it’s up to you, there’s nothing to risk occasional humidity drops are only natural as a hen will get off the nest quite frequently. The only reason to candle at this point is to make sure they don’t explode on you.

    In search of mute swan

    Well you can train them to be nice but when their hormones kick in trust me they will act like you’ve never seen before although every bird is different. We just acquired “two males” planning on getting them DNA sexed soon! What state are you in I may be able to help?

    Emus???

    As far as I know there is no way to free range them. I’m not saying it’s impossible but they love to wander and I have heard countless stories of emus getting out and never being seen again or being shot by police miles away. If you have plenty of land and I mean plenty with no roads within...

    Emus???

    Well emus are the furthest thing from nasty if they are raised right. Emus very rarely kick but are extremely curious they will bite anything shiny or intriguing such as rings, anything metal, shiny eyeballs, open wound or scabs,etc... They require a ton of space and a rather low protein diet...

    Unplugged incubator, Emu egg!

    Okay, first off so sorry your experiencing this I actually had a similar situation occur when I first incubated emu eggs (the only time but trust me I learned a lot). I can’t tell you wether the egg will hatch or if the chick died when the incubator was unplugged but what I can tell you is that...

    RESPIRATORY ILLNESS ???

    What’s your dosing for Tylan and what kind 50 or 200? A bird that size should have at least 1cc to 1 1/2cc everyday for 5 days.

    Can Peafowl live with chickens?

    Yes you can keep peafowl with chickens but it’s not a great idea. I have seen some peafowl live 10+ years with chickens but I have also read articles where peafowl have died to there proximity to chickens. The main disease associated with gamebirds being raised with chickens is blackhead so if...

    What can be raised with what

    Baby chicks will drown in open water but not older chickens won’t have a problem navigating around a pool. Baby ducks actually can drown in open water when they don’t have a mother(the mother supply’s oils that waterproofs the ducklings same goes with geese). I don’t supply open water to ducks...
