Has anyone here hatched Emu eggs? with pic

Can you hatch them in a regular incubator? What year do the females start to lay, I have a pair (1 year old) and never really thought about it.

Oh god, I don't think I could con my hubby into letting me have one of those! CUTE though!

Here's another pic... not a baby, but of Enoch, my male, sitting on his nest of eggs. The eggs have dirt on them since his nest is on the ground. He completely ignores the 8' x 8' shelter DH built for his nest, and builds his own on the dirt under a cedar tree.

He's such a good broody!

Another pic of Enoch... with 3 of his just hatched chicks. He's still in his trance-like state, with a few more yet to hatch eggs under him. It amazes me that he'll sit on his nest for about 56 days without eating or drinking.

I want one!!! But I also want to stay married... LMBO So I guess I better not get one (well not unless I build a cool hide away up in the woods where hubby can't find them...)

**Adds Emu coop to project list for spring**

They are so cute. Who sells baby chicks?

Are they flock birds and need to be kept in pairs or are they happy as singles?
