    Emu Possible Splayed Advice

    Hey all, My emu is close to 1 week old. I noticed that she doesn’t do as great of a job as my other one at keeping her legs under her and straight. It’s not an obvious splayed leg, she walks and runs fine but I’m worried about long term. I’ve splinted her legs together and they both have...

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.
