Emu not laying

[Larry8933]

I have a pair of emus and they are about 4 years old, she started laying eggs in the end of January last year but she hasn't laid any this year, why would she not be laying?

Welcome to BYC. Has anything changed in your husbandry, housing, or routine ?

 

[Larry8933]

No nothing has changed, I feed them chicken grain, so maybe I need to feed them something with more protein?

Ask Pyxis - she would know. There is a special feed for ratites I think they call them.

Depending on where you are, most feed stores have ratite feed. Or they can order it in for you. It’s about the price of high grade layer feed.

Can’t help with the laying issue though. I have to get mine to hatch first. Hopefully you can figure it out
