Hello Cyber Bird Friends. I Hope this post finds everone well, inspite of this crazy year. It's that time of year again..... Emu egg laying season. The rest of the year i dont mind being a solo emu owner, but as soon as the first egg hits the hay, I start obsessing about emus, emu mating, egg...

just a post for the gold star readers here. the deformed emu responded to the antiboitics and is doing great. the infection and swelling went down. sadly, that leg will never function perfectly, but for now she is mobile with a hop limp. with NO pain. thanks for the goose idea but for now...

not sure what you read but they are not four mounth old chicks. they are like a mounth, and in a ten by ten pen in the basement and they go outside when ever the weather isn't pouring or freezing. you leave your chicks out in WA? no you dont ..so back up. secondly, it isnt in pain it's just...

this is not a going to be a fun read, sorry. My second emu chicks spayed leg hasnt gotten better. she keeps her foot up all the time now. like a flamingo, hops around on one foot which is so fricken cute. however it taking a toll on her. she is 25% smaller than the other chick. the joint...

thanks ! but i doesnt look good. trying to hobble her/him i think did more damage, total freaked out bird. gonna give it some time but ....

hey pyxis one of my chicks has splayed legs. trying give it hobbles but just handleing her makes her kick wildly and that seems to injure the leg more. everything i've read says that a splayed legged chick isnt going to make it. one farms site says something like .."the longer you nurse them...

last year i got my first egg jan 22. this afternoon a christmas eve surprise; taylor layed her first egg. of course i'm not in anyway ready for this. was planning on getting some camera etc ... and there is a tree where the incubator goes. lastly i havent seen any confirmed mating...

been a while ... but dropping in to say "hi", also my pair seem to be trying to figure out exactly how to mate. i guess there is a learning curve. anybody else noticing mating behavior? any eggs? lastly a quick reminder to anyone who is in their second year, you sweet pets can get...

so the largest indigenous land predator is the dingo? do dingoes pack up like coyotes or wolves? guessing it would be hard for a single to take down an adult emu.

i've eliminated a fair number of the raccoons, the remaining one are too fat and lazy. we got tons of great horned owls but i've never had a problem. there are lots and lots of cottontails on the cape. i counted 12 in my yard last week, so i think that explains what the owls are eating...

so only emu owners will understand, been raising two guinea hens and finally got them to roost in a tree in my yard. like 15 feet up. so no predator problems. perfect free range bug control. everything going smoothly....till the guinea flew down into the emu run. stomp..stomp..stomp. why do...

went to jeffers, couldn't find it, it was confusing, to many wmv, eee, and other letters. so what i'm asking...please hold my hand,like i'm a child...could you show me exactly which i need to order. I mean when you get a chance, could you pop over to their website and get the item # on the...

i know i've asked this before but i can't find the reply posts. how does everybody treat their emus for " triple E". where do you buy your vaccine, type of needles i need, shot placement...the works never done mine, not much "EEE" here on the cape but it's been such a wet year i worried were...

I was a huge commerical chicken farm, and I guess when he didn't come in for breakfast after the morning chores. So like only a couple of hours at max. I've seen like 20 chickens eat one of Their sisters in a few hours, so I don't doubt it.

So no dogs, cows, horses...and even chickens. I know of a chicken farmer, who had stroke feel in his pen and the birds stripped off all exposed flesh. Eaten alive, and then death.

I bet with 20 acres they' d be fine. They could jump it but with that much room why would they. Also by the time they could jump they would be trained to stay in the yard like a fee range chickens. It's all about the illusion of containment, I mean a cow or horse could plow through most fence...

Totally thought Pyxis was older than me! Guess the Star Wars Reference confused me. I'm old,Let's just say it wasn't butter beer I was drinking when Harry Potter came out. Also just hacking on you, The potter franchise is pretty cool. I read Tolkien (spelling) and C.S. Lewis growing up...

Don't drag us all into your geekiness.

Pm me or message or whAtever they call it, your address, I will stuff a bunch in an envelope and mail it them to you.

It like been in the high 40's by midday here. My emus are dropping feathers everywhere. Almost like they are shedding their winter coat. Don't remember this last spring. Anybody else seeing this. Also, if any non emu owners want some feathers. I think they would be great for tying streamers...
