Hi everyone,
Im going to keep posting now about this for future emu hatchers.
It is day 2 post hatch and the chicks are very much more attentive and they are starting to stand and watch. Let me ask about their food and their legs.
I read a bunch of websites on chick feeding requirements and it said not to give them anything for a couple of days. I believe this since when they hatched they looked like a big yolk ball (inside their bellies) with head and legs. When should I start feeding them. They do not seem to be pecking at anything yet. Their bellies and their energy suggest that they are absorbing their yolk (they havn't gone to the bathroom yet) so I want to be ready for when they get hungry. Any suggestions?
About their legs, they are still wobbly. I have given them a bathmat for grip on setting their legs for walking. What do you know about baby emu legs?
