Farming/harvesting Emus

[FarmAir]

So I want to start an emu ranch/farm. I have the land/financial means to do so. I'm trying to teach my kids that living off the land is the best way to live. We are doing a big garden, and already own various types of poultry/fowl, a calf and bunnies.
I just put 13 unrelated Emu eggs in the incubator.
I have a few questions though. I want to be able to harvest the birds completely; oils, leather, feathers, meat, but I can't find anything online instruction wise. I'm dedicated to making this work. Does anybody have any insight on this?

They scare me as well, but only one way to get past that fear! I want to make this work, the more knowledge I obtain the better off I am.

Perhaps look into ostrich farms? Can't imagine they'd be much different

I work for the road crew, all we've been doing for the past week is plowing and spreading salt. Thank goodness for carhartt bibs!
