Hi, On Ebay there is an emu egg at auction? There is no return on this egg? It could be hatched or eatened? The auction is up in 30 minutes....it is 7:35p.m....michigan time. The bid is $17.25 and the shipping and handling is $15.00. I am wondering, would you or anyone buy an emu egg on Ebay? Chris

I'm sure if you wait a little while, one of our BYC memebers will have some eggs etc.. for sale, as now is breeding season, but Wow..... that's an early egg I guess. My one pair has been breeding, but this is really their first season... hope to get eggs.

I don't want eggs. Unfortunately,

I don't have an incubator or know anyone with one. so I want to get a couple of chicks or a pair. Still doing more research before jumpimg into this though!

Does onyone know if I can get sexed chicks?

Their eggs are so beautiful!

I can't wait to be ready for my emu(s)! And those eyes...Don't get me started!

Male chicks are suppose to have a 'Bullseye" pattern in their stripes on top of the head....... but some are very hard to tell. You can have them DNA sexed, or vent sexed if someone knows what they are looking at...... I did both and when I vent sexed the 2 it ended up being 2 males, which the DNA also concluded. Look in your local Livestock sales advertisements, put out wanted ads on craigslist etc.... You'd be surprised how close some may be.

On OH Craigslist their are 3 adult emu for sale in Ross County, OH.......... perhaps they may have babies in a few months or know of where you could get some.......

I have my breeding pair up for sale and live in KY, but if I don't sell them they hatch out chicks usually in April.
