    Best way to care for a single emu chick?

    Do you also like ducks or geese? A duck can be a good friend. We lost 1 chick, the remaining chick was so lonely. That was until “Angie” came. Best of buds now. Took a day or so but they sure love one another’s company. Snuggle up together to nap. Sure, their size difference looks odd but they...

    Emu with leg problem!

    We lost a beautiful chick, ms tally, recently for the same reason. ( splay legs). Hard to see happen but overcoming this is basically impossible.

    Well it’s a little bit later in the season but if fertile the calendar means very little. Set’em, turn’em and bake’em. Remove when done! Hehe Can’t hardly wait while my last three are in the incubator. Im looking forward to seeing those cute faces.

    Anyone Interested in a 2017/18 Emu Hatch Along?

    I set my final three I’ve gotten this season about 10 days ago. Still have a long haul ahead yet. On a side note, I received the first egg out of the first hatch of quail out of the incubator this season.

    How sensitive are quail eggs to temperature changes?

    Ok, here's the deal. The very first thing you have to do is, quit worrying. They are tough little buggers in shell. Just consider how the temp would swing with most any bird species in the wild.

    Anyone Interested in a 2017/18 Emu Hatch Along?

    Well after our power outage scare over the weekend everything seems to be ok. Still have wiggles, maybe even closer to dancing around when whistled to. The most egg-citing thing today was one of our two egg also began to chirp and cheep while dancing around. I think fun is around the corner!!
