emu

Hi, i need your help with my emu egg. Today is the day 52 of incubation and egg shows no signs of life - no wiggles, no whistles,…but its tilted to one end and it keeps that end warm. I tried every possible test i found but im really concern about its life. I have been turning it 7 times a day...

Hello! I currently raise Emus, Chickens and Quail. I used to raise peafowl, Guinea fowl and ducks as well, but no longer have them after moving. I am so fascinated with the genetics and color make-ups that go into plumage and egg color that I'm always researching it in my free time! I am...

So I had two emus eggs, one of them already hatched and it’s doing good. Now the other one cracked a whole on the egg on the 55th day but it hasn’t break the egg and come out. Still breathing and opening its eyes. It’s been over 5 hours since the emu broke the egg and still there. Could emu be...

So my emu eggs are approaching their hatch date but i'm not sure when to stop turning them. How to tell if they pipped internally, any tips? Thanks

I have a breeding pair of emus in western Virginia. The female laid a clutch of ten eggs in late November and we had four chicks hatch about three weeks ago or so. I retrieved the chicks after the male hatched them and they are in my barn brooder/pen.The pair have just started laying eggs again...

So im incubating emu eggs and my incubator is set to 97°F (36.1°C) but the egg shells are around 98°F (36.9°C) is this normal? Also should the eggs be turned for example right 180° then left and then right again or left? Thanks

My older emu who is a little over 1.5 years old has adopted a strange behavior. Whenever he is around my dad he curls his head, fluffs out his neck feathers (it looks like he’s wearing a boa), and struts around, making grunting and booming noises and following him wherever he goes. When I happen...

Long story short my female was beening attacked by her male. She was in rought shape and heart her left lag. Now for the past week she's been located in the barn so we can keep an eye on her. But when i went down today i noticed she was not wanting to put weight on her left leg. So i look and...

My big girl has been acting a little strange these past few days, she been walking weird in a way that there are no real signs but you look at her and you can just tell something is up. She has also been tripping a lot(see video ). But today i think i found out why. I go down at around 3 to...

Now that it is spring and the bugs are out, I’ve noticed mayflies landing on my emu’s (Kevin) neck and face and biting him. When I wipe them off there is sometimes a bead of blood. On my goats I use an animal specific bug spray but I don’t want to use this on Kevin, especially not around his...

I recently adopted a 2 week old male emu chick (Karl) as a companion for my 11 month old male emu (Kevin). The person we got Karl from warned us that Kevin will most certainly stomp Karl upon introduction, and we should wait until Karl is older + bigger. However, we have already introduced them...

I have a emu chick who hatch Saterday. I didnt think he was going to beable to hatch but it did(It only lost like 10.3%). It is pretty bloated as one would expect, but my main consein is where its bloated i have had emu whith bloated stomach, i know what to do with them(just watch them). But...

Emu chick keeps tucking their head underneath herself. She does this seemingly randomly and once she goes back up she goes right back to eating and drinking and pooping and having the zoomies. She’s about 4-5 weeks old. She’s on ratite, emu chick specific feed, gets lots of kale, veggies, fruit...

I recently hatched 4 emu chicks. The first one to hatch was by far the smallest has been fine for a week but mid day today I started noticing odd behavior. He/she seems lethargic the other 4 are up and alert this one always seems to be sleeping. When he is awake he seems fine but crashes hard...

Elvis, the odd guy out, looking at Doris and Frank on nest. Of course I wasn’t in time for the recent contest😒

It cant sit up. It's on its side right now kicking its feet. Seem very weak. Looks like it has a hard time breathing. Was doing fine yesterday, found it on its sit in its box. around 2 weeks. Pretty light compared to other chicks, not sure its been eating or drinking fully. Seen it do the water...

I don't know if it is an emergency, but I'm concerned. A fresh hatch less than a day has a huge stomach, all my other hatches didn't so I'm not sure. Is it bloat or is egg yolk? Any help or suggestions would be helpful.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer already but I thought I would ask. I have an egg on day 34 and its ends are different temps. there both cold to the touch but the sides have different temps, the side with the letter on it is a little warmer than the other side. Is this a dead egg? Here is...

it's around 30 days in for my first emu egg, and I just notice that the temp that was being displayed was wrong it was set to 97.5 but the real temp was around 94.4ish. It's losing the right amount of weight though; even with the real temp. Can I assume that this egg won't make it haven't seen...

Eh, I take a bunch of pics of the emu mob, my main muse is my largest male Khaos Hyperion. Got some pretty good ones this morning and wanted to share! Enjoy!! :wee:wee
