I have four 1 month old baby emus. The smallest, Kevin was doing just fine up until this evening. He can barely stand and is shaking/almost having seizure like activity. He twists his neck back. I’ve separated him in a quiet warm place and am giving niacin, b complex, and electrolytes. Anyone...
I have an emu egg and currently we are on day 55. It wiggles a lot and responds to whistling. There hasn't been any indication that it wants to come out. It doesn't make any sounds. Can it hatch after the 60 days or after the 60 is it done for? Any help or advice would be appreciated
G’day everyone
I was wondering if anyone who has Emus experience can satisfy my curiosity. I have an Emu chick who constantly shook his head at night when settling down . It was clearly distressing and I thought it might be ear mites but none were found .
he also was clear of lice and now he is...

Hi guys, so I don’t really know what I’m hoping to achieve with this post, other than (at the very least) to utilise my current situation as an informative experiment for others to refer to, should they find themselves in a similar situation to me right now.
So it is my first time trying a bit...
Hey everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this forum! Feels good to be back.😁 So, I have some questions regarding emus. Basically my mum met one a couple weeks ago when she went to collect some live feed for our pets and rescues, and she fell in love with the 5 month old bird she met...
Our sweet “Maggie” is about 1 year old. When she was 5month old, she started limping. We noticed there was a small bump between toes. We figured it was like a bumblefoot. We have treated bumblefoot on chicken and geese by ourselves before, but we were not able to hold her down to provide the...
So I want to start an emu ranch/farm. I have the land/financial means to do so. I'm trying to teach my kids that living off the land is the best way to live. We are doing a big garden, and already own various types of poultry/fowl, a calf and bunnies.
I just put 13 unrelated Emu eggs in the...
Hello,
I am looking for 2 to 4 fertile Emu hatching eggs in the KY area. I am in Corbin Ky but willing to drive a couple hours and may consider shipping. I can be reached on here or email at [email protected]. thanks for all the help.
Hi,
I have a 1 year old emu and she lives at my ranch. However, there is no shed or shelter in her pen, only a large tree that provides shade. Since emus wake up several times at night, I was thinking about putting a small solar light in the pen so that she could see where she’s walking at...
Hi there everyone,
I am looking for some advice on how to possibly sedate our 2 full grown emus, in order to load them into a trailer that will be taking them across the country. I have a call in with a vet, but wondered more about how to best administer the medicine and if anyone has any...

Hi! So I am wondering if different species of birds can live toegher.
Ie. Turkeys with chickens (or any other mix, that was just an example)
I'm just curious since I can incorporate it into my barn plans and it will help me save space!
**I don't intend to put quail/chukars/pheasants with...
Hi,
I have a 14 month old female emu that I hatched in June 2019, and lately for the past two weeks, I have noticed that she stands tall and looks angry whenever I try petting her. All of a sudden it started happening. The outside temperature has been around 90-100 for the past two weeks. Could...
I have a one month old emu chick who has been doing very well so far, but today his chirps sound off (very soft and a bit scratchy) and his stool is much more watery than usual. He seems alright otherwise. Should I be concerned?
Hi, I would like to introduce myself. I joined about 2 years ago to ask a question about my Emus. I never introduced myself then. My name is Jim. I own what I call a gentleman farm in 84 Pennsylvania. 84 is mostly a farm country, it is where 84 lumber company came from, which now has 400 stores...
I live on two acres of land with one acre fenced off. It’s empty right now but has a water troph & a small shelter ready for some mini goats & an emu, & I’m planning on buying a little pool & sprinklers for the animals to use in the summer. I’ve been researching emus for probably 5 months & have...
