emus in brooder box - temp?

[megs0330]

Had our first emu chick hatch last night, he/she is in a brooder box with towells and a light over it. Unsure of what the temp should be ?

If you look thru the forum, under the other poultry section- there is a forum specifically for Emu, Ostriches and Rheas. I don't raise Emu, but I do like to read thru that forum bc I find them fascinating. I *believe* they're supposed to be kept at 97.5° F. Go and check out that forum, lots of good stuff there
