    Basic Rhea info from two Alternative livestock farms and their websites

    With not as many rhea folks here and information being more sparse than full, I'm posting to try and contribute to the rhea info here. I am in the process of getting into rheas myself and have been directly working with Hopkins' Alternative Livestock the past 9 months as I started getting into...

    Rhea chick help; syringe feeding

    Edit: 6am and she is doing better! Enough energy to fight syringe feeding, but still not eating or drinking on her own. She is also having trouble standing, and it looks like her toes are curled.

    Best pet- emu, ostrich or Rhea? And WI breeders?

    Over the winter months I am going to be preparing for one of these types of birds. I'm very much leaning towards emu thus far. They would be strictly pets. I want only two. I’m also wondering where in Wisconsin I get pick up freshly (as in same day of hatch) hatched chicks in terms of emus. I...
