ocngrats on a successful hatch. As I am sure you have read , diets for emus are different than for poultry and if you dont get it right they can develop leg problems
Here is an article on the nutritional guidelines for emus and other ratites:

Yes, I like Seachick's idea. I think you need to start "The Backyard Chickens Baby Emu Chronicle!" And if it's a girl and she does lay I want an egg. Not to hatch but to blow out and just have They are such pretty eggs!!!
Congrats on the baby! I can't wait to hear it's name!
