Hello, I’ve been looking at moving to Arizona after I leave college and I was wanting to start a ranch out there with chickens and ratites. I was wondering, what would be a good way to manage overheating in the desert? I’ve heard dugout and adobe buildings are an option, is this true? I just...
Hello emu lovers, I've been attempting to hatch emu eggs but have not been successful and am looking for some advice. For background: I work at a small zoo with some younger emus (probably around a year now), and some of our older emus out in the safari have been laying eggs and I've been...
So two of my emu eggs (day 57) were hatching and one came out with no compilations and is doing well but the other one I think rushed himself or hurt himself while coming out of the egg, he is bleeding and I think I see his intestines coming out from where is umbilical cord was, his egg was...
Hey guys! Hope you’ve all been well and had great Xmas/New Years! Now is my fave time of year because of EMUUU season! Yay! :yesss:
Does anyone have any recommendations for some LOW-BUDGET incubators (around £250 max!) as much as I drool over the Brinsea Ova-Easy’s, £700+ is maybe a lil bit too...
A couple of months ago I won some emu eggs in an online raffle, that were shipped from the Midwest area of the US to the south east. They were doing great up until week 6. They were wiggling like crazy whenever I would take them out to weigh them but one of them completely stopped wiggling after...

My emu chick at a staple while wandering around the office on the farm! What do I do? Should I be worried? He's two weeks old today. Please help urgently
I have a 11 day old emu chick, she was fine yesterday, playing and following us around but this morning when I went to feed her I saw her lying on the ground unable to lift her head.
I sat with it for an hour and I saw that she couldn’t stand, it seemed like she couldn’t see
and when I let it on...
I am considering getting a couple of Emus for a while now. I have plenty of space where they could roam around. The only issue I have that sometimes I may not be able to close their coop at night. So I am wondering would automatic door work well with Emus? Or might they decide to sleep outside...
So my emu is about 5 days old and I noticed its feet are both different. Is there something wrong with it or is it normal? It runs and walks pretty well, trips sometimes because it doesn't pay attention. The more lit up one is the left and the one in the shadows is the right.
