Just did an official 5-day candling of my eggs and all of them are growing beautifully! I'm staying more hands off for a few days, till day ten, when I'll candle again. *bounces off to bed now*

 

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

they are ready to eat around 1 1/2 yrs old. I think most people have them as pets on here. From what Ive read, they are like a giant chicken and can be "birdbrained", storming though fences if they get spooked.

Why on earth would you eat an adorable Emu?? I want one as a house pet......no there is nothing the matter with me, honest. Okay, having one outside would be fun to, but not as fun.

Sally Shunshine posted over 300 times yesterday. To Celebrate, she posted a couple hundred this morning....

Jessiey posted picture of a blood ring. It's a gonner. A small number of eggs are clears and stinky too so eggs are being tossed. Others are too dark to tell. Shelshanam thought she had a stinky egg but it was just a dog fart!(post 3635)

Mahonri says we are 25% through the hatch!

Love it! Egg-cellent job. Thanks for the Welcome back.

OMG I just had an estrogen meltdown, and it's all your fault. Expect a stern letter from my husband explaining how 'she doesn't need anymore fuzzybutts, tyvm'.

Hehehe! Glad you enjoyed it.

I am an enabler.

Those are some adorable ducklings! Love the broody momma too.

Thank'e. She is a sweety. I fear she is going to hate me in the morning, as I'm taking her 5 cute ducklings to their new home. *sniffles*

You're welcome. I have a feeling your 5 y/o is going to want a duckling, or two, or maybe three, ah just make it an even dozen.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! If this doesn't make you want to go out and buy an Emu, I don't know what will. No seriously, this sounds like so much fun!

 

[MarineCorpFarmr]

I want emu! ...id eat em tho. Guessing you dont just hang em up and cut the arteries tho

 

[cochins1088]

I would love to hatch an emu! I'm just not sure where I would put it... Guess it would have to be a house pet like Mrs. Fluffy Puffy's will be!

 

[MarineCorpFarmr]

House pet?!? Have yall seen the claws on them suckers?

I probably couldn't even handle a chicken in the house. I love them to death, but I can't imagine cleaning up after them indoors. I can keep dreaming though, right? hahaha.

We do have 80 acres of fields, but I imagine the fencing for emus would be pretty expensive.

 

[MarineCorpFarmr]

Not sure what they need for fencing. Hmm you gave me something to go read about
