Hi guys, I have been thinking about getting an emu or two. They will basically be pets but as other birds I have, I know I could find myself with quiet a few down the road . The main thing I would like to know is that if I start getting alot of eggs or raising a lot of emu where do you sell them. I'm sure I could get rid of the occasional emu or probably several of the eggs to people locally at swap meets and flea markets and such. I just wouldn't want to get stuck with a bunch of these giants. Say you raised about 25 a year where would you get rid of them. Is there anywhere like say a livestock yard where you can sell them in numbers at a decent price? What even is a good price for a chick, six month, or one year old bird?
I have done research on the net but can't come up with anything. The main reason is that emu farming must be very big in india and when you search, the links are dominated by links from india, which are no good trying to find info here in the US.
I see alot of products made from emu and alot of farms that even sell emu products but I am sure they are not processing the emu into the products their selves for the most part. Where do the companies that make these products get the emu from?
I would love to have some of these birds but I would like it if they could help contribute to the feed bill.
