yay ! I wish I could raise me some emus! Do they jump really high? I am curious and dont want them jumping over the fence !

Hi, thebanthams,

well, not so much 'jump' as 'wildly scramble.' Six-feet-high fences are pretty much the agreed height (and high quality -- that is, expensive . . . )

I envisage a neat row of clucky males, each sitting on his allotment of Rosie Eggs.
