no the emu's can get egg bound and they need a csection to get the egg out or they will get a infection and die I know I have had both happen and I had the vet bills to prove it

Yinepu - the emus can get egg bound and need a c section I don't know how long you have had emu's but this is true most people don't realize the signs and they just die without knowing why . if the egg stays inside them they set up infection and die .

sorry Donna.. you are WRONG

A "C-SECTION" is ONLY preformed on animals that give LIVE BIRTH

the surgery to remove an "egg bound" egg is called a
"SALPINGOTOMY" or interchangeably a "SALPINGOSTOMY"

if you are going to give out info and claim to be an expert please get it right...

Quote: Sorry again Donna..

but I know of people in Canada who have taken their baby emus out into the snow for short periods of time for exercise and have NEVER had an issue with them dying

and as I stated before .. you have to make sure they don't chill since just tossing them out into cold weather would be akin to throwing out a chick without a broody hen


by your way of saying things everyone who lives in a Northern climate can never have an emu chick outside at all until the weather warms up

that would surely be a lot of dead emus since many people who live in colder climates take their babies out in all temperature.. i wonder if anyone told the Canadian owners to check their little emus for a pulse since they all must surely be dead by now..

BTW.. when I have taken mine out in February and March (last year for example) it was plenty cold.. NONE of mine died.. and yes I do live in Texas.. but we do get SNOW and FREEZING TEMPS too!



for the record.. regardless of where you live

if you have a baby emu without benefit of a larger adult bird which will willing keep it warm you should monitor the baby when you take it outside. IF the chick starts to chill it should be brought in immediately so it can warm back up
it's common sense people

to spread doom and gloom is unacceptable when a little common sense is all it takes

Morning, All!

My experience supports Yinepu’s position. At night in late Winter and early spring, the chicks would be in peril if they were not huddled under dad, who can and will sit still for days in bone-chilling rain (and my area of observation (rothschildi territory) is by no means the coldest emu territory).

Ten minutes after dawn, though, those chicks are ‘operational,’ ‘surfing’ their way through grass and litter up to their chests, to graze with dad, in that same pouring rain, until they roost again at night.

Surely the risk of splayed leg is the ‘pivot’ of this argument. My two most prevalent thoughts as I read about pet chicks are ‘Do these chicks get enough greens?’ and ‘Are these chicks getting lots and lots and lots of exercise’?

*S.E. was holed up in the bunker yesterday – pouring cold rain. Felicity and Noddy hove out of the rain at dawn to claim their wheat, and Felicity has just turned up at the window. A group of four wild birds grazed in sight of my bedroom window for an hour or more yesterday. Lovely!
